Well I was out at my friend's greenhouse where I have some of my larger fig trees and it looks like Tashkent is going to give me some figs this year.

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.

The color looks so good and flat shape looks like a flat peach. I like it a lot. Please update when fig ripens, with fig interior pics.

I now know that I wasn't patient enough with my Tashkent in pot and moved it to the wildlife area where I believe that I lost it to drought. If I make it up there, I will try to look for a secondary growth from beneath the soil.

The tree is about 2.5 years old.  It would likely be bigger if I got my butt in gear and put in a bigger pot.  I'm hoping the figs will be good but I think they may get too much water.  They are at my friend's nursery and watered with all of his plants.  They get really big since he uses a fair amount of fertilizer but I don't think the figs are as good as could be.  The good think is that most of my trees are monsters at 2 years so I am planing on starting some babies and putting the mother tree in the ground.
