Thanks to Herman advise on the good attributes of TV, I moved plant to green house. It produced many main crop figs in a hurry. Many are about thumb nail size or larger. The breba looks very delicious. I can look forward to enjoying them for the 1st time soon. |

Nice job VS! You know VS, Tacoma Violet does not get the recognition it deserves! It is one of the richest figs I've ever tasted for a common fig. I planted one in my orchard but it doesn't get that much sun. But I have 4 or 5 in huge pots and they put out! |

Dennis, re. the Takoma Violet that you have planted in the ground that doesn't get very much sun - is it productive anyway? How does the flavor compare to ones you have in containers? Thanks. |

Steve, it is still productive. THose in containers and those in the ground have the exact same growing rate for me. BUt I'm getting ready to start giving all my trees weekly fish emulsion in a few days. I just want to test my a theory. THey are a very rich tasting fig, which is why I have so many of them. |

Dennis, I was under the impression that fertilizing figs at this point will cause growth spurts and new vegetation that may not be very hardy come the winter. Herman, I think I heard that from you! |

Chill, I use liquid organic stuff during his time of the season. 5-1-1. Trust me, I know what I'm doing. ; ) |
