I really love this Fig and it's extremely delicious, in my opinion. From what I understand it's hardy as far as cold weather is concerned . I really don't know myself because our last Winter was unseasonably warm. This Fig Tree grows very well and tends to have a lot of Figs.This tree this year is loaded with Figs.Got my cuttings from Marius!.... Good Luck to everyone! : )

   

Always amazing ,thankyou!

Good pic Frank.

I planted one in ground this year in zone 5. We'll see what next spring brings.

Frank Congratulations thats a great looking fig Enjoy it my friend 

I really love this fig too.  To me it is one of those figs that is technically not a Mt. Etna but behaves a lot like one.  It's tasty and very productive and we will see how it does this winter in-ground.

Steve,
I'm really interested in how well your tree does over winter as I was given what I was told by someone I trust that the BG he sent me was a great replacement for the BG I had I was complaining about. I can only have so many 15g pots with figs in them and have decided to put a bunch in ground come spring.
thx.

Michael, if I don't post about it next Spring please ask.  I will have a lot of in-ground fig cold-hardiness data points next Spring.

Steve,
Any way I can get a list of what you have in ground?
Your new place is zone 7A - isn't it?

Nice looking fig!  The photo lets you almost taste it!

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments! : )

Hi Frank.
As always you take beautiful pictures of beautiful fig, I can almost taste it.
Enjoy them my friend.
Vito

Exceptional looking Fig Frank, keep up the great growing.

Have you noticed any major differences between this one and the Makedonia Dark? Thanks.

Hey Sas, I really haven't thought about it but I will see and let you know bud. : )
