New Fig for a New Week. . . I couldn't find much info out there about Davey's Fig Growing it because I'm a "Dave" :) We've had only 2 figs ripen this season - that will probably be it from our little tree, unless there is some huge explosion of growth or something unexpected! Though it's a young tree, these were light, refreshing figs with hints of melon & peach - I'm sure the flavors will develop as it matures. The first fig had more "red" inside but the same flavor. Anyone else growing Davey's Fig: please post pictures of your leaves & fruit - I'm really interested to see what this will become! Keep Growing! __________________ - Dave C. & Family, Temecula (southern), CA - Zone 9b

I love these light figs. I harvest one yesterday and munched on without taking the picture.. Slavi said it may be an Italian fig... hum it was delicious, hope yours is also. __________________ Grasa Seattle, WA

Eric of Lemon Grove sold me a small tree, he told me that a neighbor nearby has this tree and he said it produces a good breba crop. I have been moving my trees around and I think I knocked off the figs by accident...LOL __________________ Armando in the Heart of California

Ditto Armando's source - Eric of Lemon Grove, CA. He simply told me it was from a guy named "Davey" and that it was supposed to be a "good fig". Well I haven't met a "bad fig" yet - Good enough for me :) __________________ - Dave C. & Family, Temecula (southern), CA - Zone 9b
