First Natalina main crop.

[Terra]

I got my first 2 main crop figs from my Natalina, very nice for its first figs and more on the way.
Had nice berry syrup and fig taste with a little acid bite, no melon.
Natalina seems very productive, and a good match for my environment.

Nice! I’ve been wondering about this one myself. Glad to see a thread for it this year!

It's been a great variety here. How did you get it to ripen for you so early?

[JMF75]

Joe do you have this variety in a container? And how well does it do for you? Thank you

[jrdewhirst]

Yes, and it does great. It’s a relatively early Mt Etna type. Productive and tasty.

The night temperatures last week were dropping down to 9C -13C we are having very cold night temps. I would not accomplish anything growing figs here unless they were covered, we have a constant wind too being on top of a hill.
The tunnel is on a thick bed of sand covered with black cloth, it seems to help trap a fair bit of thermal heat for those cold summer nights but have to be very very mindful of the ventilation during the day.
I put my figs out this year mid May but they woke up in April and had to shuffled them a bit.
I'm hoping to invest in a bigger greenhouse and put in a earth battery to further extend my growing season.

I have one ,but will only be ready in 2 to 3 weeks. The other two young ones don’t have any figlets on them this first year, they are only 2 ft tall

[Terra]

I hope they do well for you.
It's been a very hardy and easy variety for me so far.
Seems to be very quick to set figs as it grows.

[Joshawa]

in pot or ground?
i happen to have this one, still small though.

[Terra]

My figs are all in pots, no way I could grow in ground here.
I may experiment with one inground one day just to see, you never know.

[Joshawa]

Thanks Terra for your quick reply.

[JMF75]

Wow those look delicious. Congratulations!

[Terra]
