Here's a fig that varies in size. Today they are the smallest that I've ever seen them. These figs were grown in my greenhouse so I could control the water. They were like eating candy. A nice melon flavor. I give it a 9.

Jon has this and calls it Cosenza. That's were it originates from.

Art, the one you gave me is doing great. It has a ton of figs on it for its size. I'll post when they get ripe. Things are still going slow for me - trying to stay patient. Thanks

Very good to hear Art.

Here is that tree I planted out as a rooted cutting last season. It might ripen a few figs and that is impressive considering what it has been through. These pictures were taken less than 3 months apart.

Must be those tillage radishes ; )

But seriously, my container tree has some deformed and mottled leaves this season, I don't remember if that plant did last season or not.

I sprayed Avid and Forbid for mites recently because I saw some on several plants in my container area; some of these plants never showed any "FMV" symptoms before, but do now. Not sure if the symptoms are really FMV, or just damage from the mites feeding, but a few plants have put out new leaves that look totally fine so far. Hoping the rest improve as well.
