I have a friend in China. Last week she went to visit Wuhan University. I happen to have the fig 'Wuhan'. It's very interesting to me how figs traveled all over the world and I can have a piece of history in my collection. Apparently Spring is a little earlier there than here in NJ. Here's a taste of spring from Wuhan China. She calls these Sakura Cherry but I think they're Yoshino. Enjoy!
