Expert opinion needed. Is this the beginning of a fig on my 2yr old Chicago? Thanks!

The picture is a little fuzzy, but that sure looks like a figlet to me. :-) __________________ -- Tamar Atlanta, GA Attempting to grow: LSU Purple, Genoa White Honey, Kadota, Alma, Lyndhurst White, Adriatic JH, Desert King, Sal's, Salem Dark, Improved Celeste, Celeste, Marylane Seedless, Panachee, Marseilles Black VS, Sal's Corleone, Kalamata, 135-15s, Negronne, White Marseilles, Beer's Black, Norella, Monstrueuse, unknown cultivars... yeah, the list is too long to update anymore.

omy goodness you're expecting! __________________ Luise Area 7 a, Central North Carolina W-S Celeste UNK, 15 year old disease free, very abundant, nice sized fruit. I've got the fever, as Ms.Javajunkie gifted me so very many cuttings. Experimentation in progress... all of my own cuttings got slimy. Ms.Javajunkie gifts are showing tiny leaves and roots. So very excited Black Greek, Po di Limone and Black Triana are growing in little cups.

Hi Anthonym81, That's a figlet. The branch looks like being pinched . Did you ? The branches are (pinched) a little short to my likings ... But the tree is yours :) . Is the tree in pot or in ground ? __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

That is the beginning of one of the finest tasting figs you will try - Hardy Chicago. My HC gave it's first fruit last year and when they were dead ripe I could hardly believe I grew something that tasted that good! The HC is awesome when it gets just a little dried out on the tree. Congratulations! __________________ Zone 7b (Central Arkansas) Seven trees in the ground: Hardy Chicago, Celeste(?), LSU gold, Italian Black, Southern Brown Turkey(?), Strawberry Verte, and Unk yellow.
