UP is still up there!

[greenfig]

Every year it holds its own spot at the top. This season the Unknown Pastilliere is no different. Seriously tasty and very productive. If you have the wasp, it is a must have. The taste resembles a bing cherry .

Those are gorgeous! I am so happy I got cuttings from you, Igor! Now they just need a few years to grow.

[greenfig]

If you have room, plant in ground. All it needs is full sun and some regular watering

[RosyPosy]

Beautiful!! Another one I can’t wait to try! I think I got my cutting from you too. Keeps on putting out figlets like crazy even though it’s still in a tree pot.

UP is always a star when I share my extra figs. Last weekend I had a fig tasting for a young couple who are getting into the hobby, they liked all the figs I grow but their eyes lit up when tasting UP.

Looks amazing
I'm very close close to trying my first UP.

[Figbert]

ZomVee Yep. And there are canyons around me that certainly could have caprifigs, but I think they've all been removed. The tree behind a bank I took some profichi from last summer was pruned pretty heavily.

Figbert I took a little sucker twig from the Chase Capri last fall and grafted it to my in ground BT in a location that is out of reach. It took and now I see little figlets on it. Maybe someday soon, the wasp can move into my neighborhood.

PBfigs I do have a Girsh Park in a large pot as well as small rooted cuttings of a capri from Mission Valley and Stanford, so hopefully I'll be able to get a little colony going next year.

Totally agree - the second fig I put in the ground. It has earned that spot for sure! Thanks greenfig !

[bullet08]

nice! i think i remember those.

[ZomVee]

The cherry flavor is real and the lack of sweetness is too. First fig has me on the fence, it's so different than other figs.

[greenfig]

Taste the figs from the direct sun vs the shade. The sweetness will be different

I need a zone 6 wasp!

[claret]

I thought you *were* a zone 6 WASP. Unless you're following in old-style Italian footsteps; half my father's family followed tradition, half broke away from it.

A few months ago, when I noticed that near my son’s house was a Capri fig tree, I decided to move my UP to his backyard since I knew the wasp does not visit me consistently. I am so glad I did! I got to taste my first UP today and it was all I was hoping it would be.

Next weekend, I will be moving my DK to his backyard too.
