Hie all. I purchased a 2yr old bare root "Deana Fig" variety and makes it the 4th variety i own. (any idea on the taste?) I am thinking of grafting other varieties (once the tree has been established and happy) to make room for other trees like apples, citrus e.t.c. Is there a max number of grafts i can do to? I am thinking of grafting my brown turkey, black genoa and white adriatic and possibly an excell fig. thanks. __________________ Figs are fun ******************************************************************* Growing: Brown Turkey, Black Genoa, White Adriatic, Mystery Fig, Deanna, LSU Gold, Dwarf Brown, Pink Jerusalem , White Genoa, Unknown Honey fig, Yellow Excel Wanted: (I think i've reached my fig quota.....for now :). )

I have an adult tree (roughly 6 years in the ground) that now has 7 varieties and one caprifig grafted. They are all developing fine and some are even producing (4 grafted last year and 2 this year have figs). Most of the grafts are Whip and Tongue (quicker to develop and start producing) and a few are Chip buds. Here's the tree now: __________________ Jaime - Zone 9b - near Caldas da Rainha - Portugal Wish List: São Luís, Valamandil, Sofeno Tradicional, Cótio, Cavaleiro, Belmandil, Coll de Dame de Ciutat, Strawberry Verte, Marabout, Sihagi.
