Hello Thera long time no talk. I've been here but I had some eye difficulty needed operations. I wanted to thank you publicly for your gift of an Angelito. I want you to know your Angelito survived and is now in my Greenhouse having a less stressful winter. This is a very generous man.
Curious to see pics of the figs and leaves. Not doubting your assessment.
It ripens before my BMKK, Figo Preto. I just added a mature MIB last year so I can't speak for all BM types. I don't see it as Black Madeira type. Hope that helps.
If you see the completed transactions for it on Figbid, it's been selling for hundreds since 2022 both airlayer and cuttings.
Seems like it's held it's value better than most. Now I'm even more intrigued
That is a log for sure. Careful with your lights with the white leaves. I have a rooted cutting that is demanding extra care, if the light is too strong or the leaves are too close to the light the leaves burn and drop. Good luck rooting this one.
My propagation table last year employed a T5 fluorescent tube light fixture with two types of bulbs red and full spectrum White. It used four of each bulb. I quickly realized that even with 16 inches or more I had to back off to four lights. The eight lights was just too much. If you look the space between the light fixture, and the table seems more then adequate for T5 fluorescence. It's my experience that fig cuttings do not require a great amount of lumens at the start.

I don’t plan on selling but trading is a possibility. I have three of these started and a few “maybe” trades set up so I can let you know closer to some warmer temps.
I saw the post. Super thick logs! Exciting stuff. I trust that it won't need to be grafted as it grew so big!
We all tend to cull a bit early from game to time. So many variables. I have grown certain varieties that I'm ready to give up on and I visit a friend 25 minutes away and his copy looks much better than mine and vice versa. Soil, water retention, age of tree, quality of cutting or graft, FMV (visible and unseen), microclimate, etc. Im sure it will come full circle once prices drop and you can get it back once more people confirm the quality.I bought my tree for $250 the same one I sold for $100 lol I might have judged it too early. Who knows
Sicilian 33 grafted onto Yellow Long Neck in a 4x9 inch tree pot (32)
PLEASE READ LISTING!!! My dad, fruitnut, grafted this Sicilian 33on July 16thand I brought it home with me on August 3rd. It didnt yet have any growth. All the green growth you are seeing has happened in less than 5 weeks, so its a very strong little tree. It was grafted on a tree that already...
I see yours on figbid, I will give it another try I guess
Looking good!
If you're wanting to graft, I have a very small and thin cutting with 2 or 3 nodes. I saved it for grafting. I will gift it to you.How much for half a node? That’s all I need!
You want me to float it across the st Lawrence to you?How much for half a node? That’s all I need!
