Persian White 2015 Main

[newnandawg]

This is another third year tree that was placed in ground April 2015. It has responded
with growth and production unlike last year in a 10 gal pot.

This fig is pleasantly sweet with a honey flavor and a nice slightly chewy skin. We gave
it an 8 on a 1-10 scale.

Glad to see another highly rated fig! Glad to see your having good luck with your figs this year.

As always, looks great.

What do you do to protect your in ground trees over winter?

Nice looking light fig.

Scott, not enough obviously. With the exception of 11 close to the south side of my house, all died to the ground. Only two did not come back. Most of those will have figs. They all had about 4 inches of pine straw and that was all. We had two mornings of single digit temps. The previous three years they were all in pots.

Are you planning for a more aggressive winter protection plan for this coming winter?

One of the best looking honey fig pics I ve seen this year. Well done Mike and thanks for sharing.

Hi Mike is that Bass' Persian White?

[newnandawg]

Scott, I plan to increase the amount of pine straw around them and that is it. Only
the strong survive. I don't want trees that I have to provide a lot of protection.

Rafael, yes it is from Bass.
