An update. The tree seen above is a flying dragon and not Meiwa. Now for the correct tree with the fig today

why bother? Because sometimes the ease of doing something does not equate satisfaction of accomplishment, the admiration of others, nor the pleasure of having earned our stripes.

I have 2 mature kumquat trees. There are a lot of work. I got 1 quart of Meiwa fruit this spring. I planted the seeds to see what would happen and I found out that they were still just as dificultto grow as they were 12 years ago. While the figs grow much faster they have just as much problems to. It is a hobby that will never brake even on in fruit production. Just fun.

Hi Steve,

I prefer the taste of citrus to that of figs. But the (potted) citrus yield is so much less than that of figs. Which is why I am transitioning to figs.

I get more limes than figs, think the deer eat the figs
