    I had a small tree from Watts but it died last year. It was difficult to root and had to babysit it to long.

      Looks nice and healthy. Is it a white fig?

        Chris, Fig color is unknown to me at this moment.

      According to Richard Watts' fig list I have from 2010, Afghan - E is a medium sized Yellow-Green fig with a pink eye and pink flesh.
      A friend of mine has gotten ripe fruit on his tree but seems to always forget to take photos before he eats them 😏. Guess I'll have to get this one going again............

          How long have you grown it?

          From cutting or tree?

          What was the source?

          Is this first year fruiting?

          Can you describe the flavour? Sweetness?

          I'd like to know more about this one... I'm completely unfamiliar with it.

            This spring will be its 3rd year

            From cutting or tree?

            I purchased a rooted cutting

            What was the source?

            It was purchased as a rooted cutting from
            Craig Boyer( Boyerholdingsllc from figbid)
            He purchased it from William Saxton on eBay in 2017. William Saxton received it from the late Richard Watts.

            Is this first year fruiting?
            It’s fruited in its 2nd year, had 3 figs

            Can you describe the flavour? Sweetness?

            It was a mild sweetness but crisp taste, very unique that i was more curious and did more research on it.

            Anymore questions let me know, I’ll post again this summer 2023.
