    Outstanding looking trees Martin ! How I wish to have your know how 🙂

    Such a soutafter varieties.

    Some of my trees are struggling as a result of past brutal winter, merely didived all the way to minus 22 Degrees Fahrenheit. Fig tree in ground freezed to the ground, I did have them winter protected but but obviously not for that deepfreez 😟

    Fig trees in garage suffered frost damage, they all recovered, some are doing better then other.

    I see that your main crop is way ahead of mine, I bet you will be ripening them around August 😃

    Here are a few from my yard.

    Dalmatie in ground, it was trained as an espalier but the left arm freezed, there are new arms growing 🙂


    Cherry Cordial, I sink it in ground 3 inches

    Your trees look outstanding Martin ! Nice grows short nodes with clusters of figs 😃.

    I am having tough season.

    Black Madeira type figs are maybe 2 to 3 weeks from swelling or changing color, same with Verdino Del Nord, Pasteliere, Hardy Chicago, Col de Dame Blanc and so on, although Col de Dame Noir just started to turn color and swelling also my late ripening De La Reina started ripening 3 days ago which supriced me.

    Early ripeners like Florea, Celeste, Lattarula, ripened a few figs last two weeks.

    Spring day temperatures were not to bad, but nights didn't get above 50 Fahrenheit until middle Jun. July was good and so is August, hoping for long sunny September & October.

    First main crop fig ripening.


    Next 3 digs are breba⬇️



    Blue Celeste ⬇️






    Osborne Prolific,

    first day noticenotice it'sit's swelling ⬇️




    Well that's it for today.

    Martin, it's nice to see progress of your figs.

    Keep well Martin.

    Anna thanks for showing your pictures . Looks like you may have a nice September for the figs.

    this plant looks just like the madeira in all ways just not sure about it's fig taste yet.
