Well it's no Dall'Osso, but my VdB produced a double fig :) I vaguely remember someone (Jon?) mentioning their VdB will occasionally produce a double fig. This is the first one on my tree. __________________ Location: USDA Zone 9b / Sunset 13.

My Panache once had a double. Any fruit can do this, but it's usually fairly rare. __________________ Wish List: sbayi, hmari, niagara black, black ischia

It happens from time to time. Some varieties are more prone and weather seems to play a role, as well. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere

Mine does this, produces some side-by-side doubles (looks like testes), and even occasionally produces 2 figs from a single node. __________________ Wish list: Galicia Negra, Violetta, Violette de Sollies, Dan_la's Black Beauty 10, Craven's Craving, Most important: YOUR FAVORITE FIG. A lot of people put emphasis on popular/exotic cultivars, which is great because it highlights some of the better fig varieties; however, I am most interested in the figs our members love regardless of pedigree. Currently Growing: a bunch of varieties.
