Discovered very nice trees, they are not caprifigs. The leaves on some look different so there might be 2-3-4 different varieties. Definitely will come back in May-June for a tasting! :) They were planted a few in a hole and it seems to grow just fine. I might get a few cuttings from each so by the time I know what is what, they will be in 1 gals already. If I am lucky enough, may even have a chance to talk to the owners. A Saturday or Sunday would be good days to stop by. __________________ wish list: Violeta, Calderona. USDA z 10a, SoCal

The ones with multiple trunks in a group are probably all one variety. Can you tell by looking at the crown? Around here the few big trees all look like that. One has about 30 trunks spread out over a 10-15 ft diameter. __________________ Steve in Alpine TX 7b/8a Wish list: Sangue Dolce, Siblawi, Victoria, Emalyn's Purple, Colonel Littman's Black Cross

Steve, They might be all one variety or maybe not, who knows. They seem to be all the same age and planted at the same time (not seedlings), the leaves do not look the same on all the trunks to me. I didn’t take a photo, would do next time. Some trunks have fingered leaves and some single-lobed (on the trees on the right side, the first photo). __________________ wish list: Violeta, Calderona.

Hi greenfig, Nice discovery and nice trees ! For the sampling, take a good ladder with you :) I don't understand people letting trees grow to that extend. Good luck. __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

I can but in exchange you should tell us who you are, why you love figs and why have you decided to grow them. __________________ wish list: Violeta, Calderona. USDA z 10a, SoCal
