  • Chiappetta 2016 Main

    This four year old in ground tree receives about 5 hours of sunlight daily.

    This fig was not near as tasty as past two years when in a pot and full sun.
    It was lacking in flavor and sweetness. Maybe a 5 on 1-10.

    It is too good of a fig to starve it of sunlight Mike! Put it on the roof or something

      I thought I would add a little more on this good fig.
      This plant is at least 4 years old in 10g pot, given to me by the fig's 'finder'. It gets full sun. It is a very sweet honey fig; some figs had a little honey at the eye last year, but I have not seen that yet this season. This year first fig was on 9/8, last year on 9/14. Color ranges from an olive-brown to purple. I'm not real great with the ratings yet, I would give it an 8 only because it is not as flavorful as some.
