Recently went to Denver they have some life berry that had small fruits. .. was real tempted to buy one but I think I should wait and see what mine produce

Violette Dauphine (common type fig biferous produces 2 crops wasp not required for main crop).

Since San Pedro type figs produce 2 crops would they also be considered biferous (bifere, bifara..) or is the biferous term only applied to common type figs?

I saw young cuttings, and that seems a bit funny to see (so many) cuttings started now .

For the goji, there is a video linked somewhere here on the forum. Long story short there a gazillion strains of goji, because suppliers/nurseries grow them from seeds,
and the plants don't come out true to the mother.
I myself have one that is getting closer to the compost pile.
Someone wrote that they get more productive if one creates a trunk (1m/3') against a pole and let the branches grow and fall from that height.
I'm trying that with mine ... Last trial !
Goji are a bit odd. Some claim that under-ripe, "they can be sort of poisonous". So one should eat them ripe and maybe dry. Legend or not ... I may not want to try it myself.
So the next exotic stuff ,I picked, is kiwai issai -those look promising.

Are the trees, with peach leaves, peaches or almonds ?
Some here are starting to grow almond trees ... In Zone7 ...
