Hie all my Deanna fig i planted in a self watering barrel has since woke from its slumber (its spring here in Australia) and has since put out multiple branches about 5 and there are still many buds turning green and opening up. This morning when i was removing some weeds i noticed a sucker beginning to emerge. Do i just leave it there permanently or should i wait for it to become a certain size before separating it from the mother plant and then planting it in its own spot? What do you think? I forgot to take a photo of the sucker but i have the photo of the update. Barrel is on Left. The one on the right contains my European sugar-plum. When i planted it 21/08/16 17/9/16 European Sugar Plum 17/9/16 __________________ 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 slice a plastic pot so that I can get it around the sucker, fill the post with soil, and then when its rooted and ready, cut it off. __________________ ************* Grant Kitchener Ontario Canada Z5b
