It's an awesome feeling when your about to taste the first fig from my cutting-grown-tree, its been 2 years since i took a cutting from a really old fig tree at a winery in the napa valley, finally i get a reward for babying my tree!

That is a true "Legacy" tree, it would be great to get the history of it. I believe that legacy tree cuttings perform better than those from younger trees. __________________ Thx, glad to be here Danny K "EL CAZADOR DE HIGO" Waskom Tx Zone 7B/8 Wish list: anything anyone wants me to have.

That is a picture perfect fig, inside and out. Maybe e-mail the winery to see if they know what type of fig it is? __________________ Steve Houston, TX Zone 8b Wish List: Zingarella
