This is the fig i got from a cutting i took 3 yrs ago at a deserted property for sale by the city. There were 3 fig trees and 4 citrus, and a couple of other things it appeared the guy who owned it had kept up the trees and soil etc... i had 2 fruit last year, and they were poor but, ive had 7 to 8 this year (squirrels had a few also) and now its putting out more. - a LOT more - LOL i can just see when this thing it 12 yrs old... very tasty, not super-sweet, but, sweet enough and great texture. this is the $2 plant from Lowes i bought in spring its really taking off !! this is a cutting i planted from my black mission 2 months ago ! already rooted... this is that cutting, and another i got from a neighbor also no ID... Just wondering about the growth pattern of these 2 they seem quite different... the Black Mission doesnt seem to have a main leader to grow from will it produce one ? its from the middle of a branch that broke off. the end part died. another $2 plant from Lowes. not growing as fast i may have planted it too deep ? or, something ate the leaves off of one branch... the Black Mission... __________________ New Orleans La. zone 9 growing subtropical food-forest figs = Black Mission, Celeste, 2 un-named, and 4 cuttings started guava, papaya, mango, fig, mulberry, jujube......., white, black, and mamey sapote...., Cherimoya, lychee, longan, several psidium/guava relatives, Jaboticaba, citrus, Jamun, natal plum, and about 100 more...

Let me know if you want to trade cuttings or a airlayer if you can Hi Figpig would be more than happy to trade cuttings. obviously air-layer would take more time. cutting start for me very easily (on fig anyway) maybe its the humidity here ? so, i dont do airlayers regularly on fig. PM me with address etc... i have better pics, a bit older though, here... http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/2-trees-unknown-id-8175599?pid=1292820335 someone said it may be Brunswick Stella, Vasilika Sika , and Dalmatie are also names ive seen used on figs with long fingers, though i know very little about them. __________________ New Orleans La. zone 9 growing subtropical food-forest figs = Black Mission, Celeste, 2 un-named, and 4 cuttings started guava, papaya, mango, fig, mulberry, jujube......., white, black, and mamey sapote...., Cherimoya, lychee, longan, several psidium/guava relatives, Jaboticaba, citrus, Jamun, natal plum, and about 100 more...

Richie, you are from Hickory La. ? My mother is from Cottonport. Father is from Big Bend... lots of relatives in the area spent a lot of time there as a kid. Can you still smell Bagas driving down the street ? i always thought that stuff would make great compost. wish i had a truckload right now...
