If there`s anything useful that can be needlessly destroyed or thrown away him and my sister will get it eventually. They will brainstorm new things to throw away and bulldoze for absolutely no reason. They got furious when I wouldn`t waste money bulldozing my yard when I moved to this lot.

You mention desert king being a potted fig but it looked like you had it in ground. It's actually the most popular fig here to plant in the ground because it has such a good breba crop and is cold hardy. I don't see any reason to have it in a pot. It's one of the few I planted in ground. We usually plant later varieties or less cold hardy varieties in pots so we can move them around to extend the season and protect from the weather. The Nero600 was my most productive this year.

Figs usually die back to the ground here every year, so we will not get the breba crop unless it is kept in a pot. When we say “cold climate” or “cold hardy” we’re generally referring to climates that are too cold for breba crops.

If you are in a climate like mine, short mild summers and winters that are cold but not cold enough to cause die back (our lowest is 10°F), with these cold hardy figs, you might only see fruit in the spring growing on the previous year's growth. This is called the breba crop. In warmer areas, people will get a breba crop in the spring and then a main crop later in the summer or fall.

Fair enough, but when leaf patterns are very blatantly different at that maturity it raises red flags. The fig community is what brought this mix up to the attention of many. Did you read the post about it on OurFigs? Agristarts distributed them under the wrong name. I can assure you that if that was White Marseilles you would of seen fruit by now, and it wouldn't have deeply lobbed leaves.

Pinch back and prune so you can get some fruits. Black Madeira is not cold hardy. That will never ripen in your zone.

The microclimate we planted it in is quite a bit warmer than everywhere else. We will see.

I think you’r a newbie in figs ! The first fig tree is male fig tree this is why you dont get any edible fruit out of it so do not propegate and sell that to others that will be only waste of time for your customers .

Your proficiency in orthography is evidently deficient, particularly in the accurate spelling of 'propagate', and your syntactic structures are lamentably subpar.

Ozgurluk, the white marseilles is a gynodioecious fig. Plant Fanatic, this dude is a troll. Don’t fall for this dude’s clear provocation.

I loved your fig tree but I stopped watching at 1:29 because of all the up-talk. I just can't do it.

I suppose by up talk you mean the 5 second plug where I tell people I sell fig trees? 😂😂😂
