Hi Dave. Nice photos! When did this fig ripen fully? I'm curious to know if it is very late. Thanks, Leon

Yes what a pretty tree and really stunning Figs. I think this is the first time I have heard of this beauty. Do you know any of its history? Another one for the wishes list! Thank you for sharing. ;-) __________________ 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!

Thanks, Leon Hey Leon Photo #8 the last picture of the fig cut in half was taken August 1st so I would say in Zone 6b for me they ripen roughly August through October and I don't remember having to pull off any unripened figs for winter storage __________________ Connecticut - Zone 6B Wish List - Bordissot negra rimada

Hello Dave, Great job mate, the tree looks big, strong and healthy and the fruit looks great too. I would love to get results like that! I'd be interested to hear what soil you are using in the pot, and how you fertilise it? Is that a 15 gallon container you have it in? __________________ Mic ~ Australia ~ Equivalent to US Zone 10

Picture #8 is the kind I like to share on my facebook page so I always have a reference handy for when my MR goes into production. It's a beautiful fig. __________________ Jerry Canyon Lake, TX 8b Wanted: Cajun Gold, Louisiana Honey, Schar Israel-114 grams

Dave, I agree it is a keeper. Mine MR was in its 2nd year last year and started ripening figs here in zone 7a in mid-September. So for me (on the basis of one year) it seems like it is on the late side though not an extremely late fig.

I started using Fox Farm Oceanic soil I found it to be a little heavy the pot it is in is around a 10 gallon I since moved it to a 15 gallon and I now use Pro-mix HP Great soil Quote: Originally Posted by mic Hello Dave, Great job mate, the tree looks big, strong and healthy and the fruit looks great too.
