I am familiar with this tree, instead of putting it in the ground, you can keep it in a large pot. It is small and compact, makes a nice sunny patio fig. Won't fall in any hurricanes this one. Ciao

Perhaps this would be a good candidate for espalier treatment. I read that figs were for the most part not good for espalier because of their vigorous growth but this is a dwarf. Will it take to the heat of a long north Florida summer? Should I plant it against a west wall for greatest heat or against an east wall for afternoon relief from the direct sun? The other alternative is to espalier it against the south wall and let it bake in the sun all day.

For the record, my PN fruit from Park Seeds does not look
anywhere near that fabulous picture they have in their
catalog. I had once asked them about that, and what I
got was a beat-around-the-bush answer...

P.S. the closest fig I have that looks like Parks' PN
picture is my VdB from EdibleLandscaping (EL).
I do not have the Negronne from Wayside Gardens which
happen to show the SAME picture (only laterally inverted).

Gorgi,
If the picture in Park is not the PN fig you have, what does yours look like? Are you happy with the flavor of it?

George,
The reason the picture is the same at Wayside Gardens as in the Park catalog is that Park owns Wayside. I read it in their "About Us" section. It looks as though Park is guilty of false advertising if your fig does not resemble the plant pictured in their catalogs. I don't think I can trust Park to be honest about the rest of their merchandise. Perhaps that is the PN fig in the picture but they sold you something else they wanted to move out.

Sorry, I have no pictures. Will try to remember to take some
this summer. I do remember that the fruit of PN was more of
a longish shape and the inside less red. Somebody had told
me, that maybe my tree needs to mature some more. BTW, both
PS and WG are now showing exactly the same picture (without
left to right flipping one of them).
