They are almost one year old and a few have fruit. I would like to thank Igor for being generous enough to send seed. I will start planting more tomorrow.

Remember, I'm on the other side of the river. I'm shooting for capri's so I will have enough to sustain wasp. But I wouldn't complain about another common if it was good.Nothing in the world takes the place of growing citrus till figs come along. Ray City, Ga. Zone 8 b.Comment

That is lot figs for plants under a year. How normal is it for rooted cuttings to bear within a year?Jerry, Canyon Lake TX 8bComment

4 of 7 trees that I started rooting in October/November have figs forming on them now. About 40 figs total. Sadly, I'm not sure that any have time to ripen. I was able to get one ripe one a couple weeks ago that emerged in March. -
about 30% of this years starts have figs on them here...many of those have multiples and a couple threw doubles...Me thinks its the food

Just for fun a couple days I sowed fig seeds I collected from some dried figs just to see if they would sprout.You may only view thumbnails in this gallery. This gallery has 1 photos.Jerry, Canyon Lake TX 8bComment

I'm planning on growing a few capris In each greenhouse and in a few micro climates around buildings for protection from the cold. Im hoping some could make it through but it's not known how cold they will survive and does the humidity or rain affect them.Nothing in the world takes the place of growing citrus till figs come along.

Congratulations, Hershell!! I think you set a record. They definitely love the tender care you provide and reward you with this awesome figgy growth
The critters are eating everything like mad this year because of the drought since figs have moisture and I have many more seeds from the damaged ripe rigs, in case someone wants to play god like Hershell, lol

Looks good Hershell. I hope you succeed in your goal. It would be interesting to hear from other fig growers in your area once the wasps are migrating. I can hear them now "my fruit used to take good but now they taste great"
