Best Fig Variety for the Irish/UK Climate (so far)

[@ImRaHorakhty]

Good to know IFB. It would be interesting to see how the RDB performs outside in a pot on a patio or even in a garden.

[@melchiorsternfels6454]

Do you have it in a pot or planted out. It get's quite large, so difficult for smaller gardens, right? Which space/area should I consider for the RdB?

[@TheChonkster]

Hi, I would love a cutting if you are pruning now. Did those fruits ripen in September October this year?

[@irishfruitandberries9059]

Depends on whether you're growing outside or in a greenhouse but I was getting fruit from June right through to November. I'm rooting some cuttings at the moment so if any of them take I'll let you know.

[@hopeitgrows2892]

That's awesome. Looks slightly different to my RDB. Could I maybe buy a couple of cuttings?

[@irishfruitandberries9059]

Yeah, absolutely. The leaves on mine are slightly different from standard RDB. Don't know why but I got this from Harvey at figaholics.
