I presume that these lovely Portuguese fig tress are growing somewhere in 'fig-heaven' CA, USA? __________________ George, NJ_z7a.

Loma point, right? Can't tell by the pictures but I heard that the abebereira tree was not in the best of health. Any idea if this is the case? __________________ Ed NY zone 7 Wish list CDD Blanca/Negra

They are in Point Loma, maybe 1/2 mile fro the ocean. They are all about 50 years old, and could probably use more water, but otherwise healthy. The Preto gets water than the other two, and probably has more root space. The all had more new growth this season, after pruning last season. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere

Beautiful Trees! Well taken care of/pruned. I love to see fig trees with a nice large trunk. __________________ Kim Dallas Texas monkeyk on ebay

Figo Preto loves this coast. I'm just a few miles from the ocean. It is an excellent fig.

I am still so shocked that this tree was cut down. Did the owners have no clue? Didn't they try the Figs? I am sure I am missing the rest of the story. I know the property was sold and all; but these trees should have been on the appraisal!! Really a tragic story, the only light being that precious cuttings where shared and they are treasured by us, the fig community! Long live the Preto! __________________ In the book the "The Meaning of Trees" it is said the fig regulates the heart and that the true essence of Figs is...food for the soul. Daisy's IBT cuttings will be available in January/February along with a few Lampeira Parda. Wishes for Martinenca Rimada, Black Ischia, I258, CddRoja, Jolly Tiger, Your favorite Figgy!

Did go to Point Loma, did not locate fig cuttings, but did find in Santee. Brought home 4 cuttings. Once they root I will post to get it ID'd. It is a very good tasting fig. __________________ Wish List: Sodus Scilian, Dall' Osso, Kathleen Black, I-258, Malta Black, Ischia Black, Persian White, Native de Argentile, Lampeira Preta, Sofeno Petro and any LSU or any duplicates you may have.
