I haven't seen this video posted here on F4F and thought it would be of interest:

looking at that video by bass and seeing the Calvert in it.. i'm thinking do i really want to keep all 4 or 5 of them in my garage. i mean.. the figs look amazing, but the tree is so infected with FMV, the leaves are all distorted. i'll see if the figs are worth keeping in next two years. might dump few.

Effects of FMV are so incredibly variable! I have a UC DAVIS Black Madiera that has grown exactly one inch all of last year. I have an Aked that grew 6 feet and produced figs that same year. Thanks for posting Bass's video, Figaro. I'm sure I saw it before but can never get enough of the wonderful photography and Bass' music. Frank
