This is one healthy looking tree. Almost free from FMV.
It sits in a 2gl pot but will be moved to a larger pot today.

The leaves are dark green, crisp and robust. There are a total of three figs on it but not bad for a young tree. I don't care for it to ripen at the moment. I prefer it gets bigger and stronger.

The fruit is supposed to be large and dark with red interior. So I hope next season I can update with ripe fruit. But if it ripens any now I wont complain.

Please enjoy the pictures,

Ooh, nice.  That tree is definitely not starving from nutrients.  Looks like it got some good growth this season. Mahalo for sharing your pics.

That's a beautiful healthy looking tree, Rafed.  I'm sure it will love the larger pot.

Thanks everyone.

Going to hold off on up potting it for a couple more weeks or so. Has a little sucker right at the base of the trunk.
So giving the fact that I like to bury the rootball an inch or two below the ground level I am going to wait. Not that it could harm it much, I still want to wait. Better safe than sorry.
