1st ever SV, many thanks again to Nycfig for gifting this plant. I am also including a pic of Paradiso Gene not only for its beautiful size, but also you can see this fig would not have lasted any more on the tree, I've never really seen a fig drip juice like this, you can see a little puddle forming in the middle. An outstanding fig.

Raf, how healthy is your Paradiso? I think I remember most of them have pretty heavy FMV.

Looks great by the way. Nice work.

Hey Cal

Some folks have gotten Paradiso Gene through Encanto or Dick Watts and maybe those have some fmv but the ones that came directly from East Coast figs I've never heard of them having fmv. I believe Steve (Rewton) got his directly from Gene Hosey and I got my cutting from Pete Kim, who got his direct from Gene Hosey also. The mother tree was in Washington DC. So yes, mine is quite healthy.
