I found a large tree loaded with big figs spilling over a fence in my neighborhood earlier this week and decided that I should return to trim a branch or two as a community service for the sake of well groomed landscaping. Getting there late today to perform this good deed my heart sank. Someone had already given a 3 foot deep all around buzz cut to this gorgeous tree and all I could do was trim a couple of puny stems. The fruit (in reach) wasn't ripe but pinkish red inside. Any idea what variety this could be? Attached Images yl9.jpg (126.25 KB, 26 views) __________________ Conrad, SoCal zone 10

Damn that's too bad, gotta start driving with your Shears! It looks good... __________________ Currently growing 50-60 varieties, this season's cuttings dependant. Hopefully I'll get to taste a few more this year...

cjccmc, maybe you got your Wishlist fulfilled? Looks like a great strain of Vista. With figs I could always be wrong :/ __________________ Frank Q. Figs: Food from paradise Wish-list:A good harvest :) Now you can follow http://www.facebook.com/LosAngelesFigForest

I'm planning a trip back to that location this week to hopefully find a ripe one to taste. May need telescoping rubber arms to succeed :-) __________________ Conrad, SoCal zone 10

May need telescoping rubber arms to succeed :-) Thanks for showing us such a nice black and big fig Believe it to be in this family of figs, already with so many names Apparently, long long time ago, Eisen said it could grow up to 4 inch in length http://www.galgoni.com/FRA/Fotos_Maxi/016.htm Francisco Portugal
