    NJ Red 2016

    Like clockwork since 1995...old faithful....energizer bunny....despite the abuse of being run over by an SUV. OK, enough with the platitudes, on with the pictures.

    One of my top 5.

    You may only view thumbnails in this gallery. This gallery has 9 photos.

    looks great, Frank. What do the leaves look like?

    Is it in the Mt Etna family?

    Is there a specific method with the SUV that is effective?

      Ed, back and forth, back and forth seems to work the best.

      This is a New Jersey fig --- so it is less about the initial damage done by the SUV and more about the THREAT of EVEN MORE DAMAGE that is to come if the tree doesn't put out figs...capisce???

        That looks great Frank!
        I'm looking forward to getting my first taste in a couple of months. My tree is still small but already showing it's productivity and resilience to heat and full sun with container growth.
        Thanks again for distributing it.
        Calvin, Wish list is to finish working on the new house, someday.
        Bored? Grab a rake, paint roller, or a cordless drill and come over!

          Calvin, please post some photos when ripe. Id live to see how it does in Colorado. BTW, this tree will always remain small. Pretty sure it is a dwarf.
