Johnny, my first year BM cranked out 30-32 Figs in its first year. It grew like a weed in the heat. I even had enough growth to do 4 air layers off of it and still have 3 main branches at 4.5ft tall. With that said, 1/3 of the figs split too bad to eat. Usually that was after a rain though. It's not affected by FMV and shows no signs of it.
