  • New to figs

    Hey my names Jonathan I'm growing in CA focused on exotic fruits and aquaponic systems as I try to be substantiable and organic in my growing.

    This is my first year getting into growing figs I started some black mission and Celeste and Vista cutting hopefully they take. Miss my black mission fig we had at our house when I was a kid.
    ​​​​​
    ​​​​​​​Today my only fig is an unknown Pastillere that Igor gifted me thank you so much by the way if your reading this.

    My wish list:
    Col. littmans black cross
    I-258
    Figo preto
    Emalyns purple
    Paridisio
    ​​​​​​​Valle negra

                            It would be interesting to see some of your other fruits too in the fruit and nut section when you have time.
