Re: Update from LadyAndy ~ LONG and part off topic ~

Well, you made me go searching for photos as I just love our little
fig tree. We planted it late last year when it was just a single twig
with 3 itty bitty branches, nothing more. Last year already we had
our first crop of about 30 or 40 wonderful sweet figs and now it has
grown to about 6 ft tall and has maybe 100 or so fruits on it. They
say they will have 2 seasons per year, with the heaviest one coming
about September.

I found a few photos when I searched. Look for the "panache" fig,
which is striped and bright pink on the inside. Even some of the
branches have a faint hint of the striping.

Here is a couple of links to some photos:

and http://www.rollingrivernursery.com/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/62d35026f1b2e01d12c445f1897a144a.jpg

This is not where I bought ours, but the guy is local and doesn't do
mail order, so unless you are in Los Angeles, you'll have to find your
own.

The nursery owner (who specializes in tropicals and rare fruit trees)
told me this is the only fig he carries as everybody loves it in our
area. I think it will only do very well where you get some heat, like
here, but if you have that kind of weather, this tree seems very easy
to grow and does not require a polinator.

Good luck if you try it. So far so good for us! Really a beautiful
little tree, a little gem in our yard.

LadyAndy, I just know you will have too many figs, so how about sliding a
few through the computer to me. I love them and could not get my tree in
Atlanta to live.
