Panache, Lattarula, Petite Negri, Condaria, Mary Lane …my new family of figs I adopted from a neighbor at the end of last summer. That and my two other potted figs: Brown turkey and Crusader should keep us well supplied with figgie delights.
I've been keeping a look out for bud growth. All but one , the first one I repotted , are looking good. I think I was a bit aggressive with the root pruning on my first one.
The gophers did some serious root pruning on ours. It is still trying to recover...one fig last year, ceremonial eating of the fig. One day I hope to be overwhelmed by the harvest.

ReplyDeleteOur next door neighbor has a tree full of figs every year…they never pick them . I always try to reach a few .
DeleteThat's a happy family of figs, you got there! My brown turkey fig produced last summer for the first time. And the ants almost beat me too them!
