Sorry to be the "proud dad", but I haven't had much to share with the group until recently.
In Nov of last year I bought a tiny JHA in a tree pot from Wills and some RDB cuttings from Kelby. They survived all of my attempts to assassinate them through the winter, and here they are today:
JHA is about 4 feet and the growth is incredible. Compared to my other trees in pots, the leaves are so much lusher. I don't really know why. I pinched the top to see if I could get it to branch out a bit, and I got the Y you see now in weeks. I intended to remove the figs to help it grow, but it seems to be growing just fine. From what I've read, this is a late variety, so I hope to taste something in another month or two.
In Nov of 2015, this was a stick about 6 inches long. Now it is 3-4 feet. The cuttings Kelby sent me were all very fresh and grew vigorously. The other 4 cuttings are in pots. One of those already ripened 2 figs. I wasn't in town when they ripened, but my wife tells me they melted in her mouth. I'm really upset she ate my first two figs
