I grow my figs in pots so that I can protect them in the winter. I get more fruit that way, since less wood is damaged. Kadota did well for me at me previous house, but I didn't bring it with me since they tend to get winter killed to the ground here. I've missed my collection ever since I moved, and started acquiring new varieties last year.

Shoe, Jolly Tiger has dark, sweet figs and seems to produce two crops a year. It throws reversions occasionally, with branches that have no variegation. I've been using these to practice propagation, but I've only been successful with layering so far. Care to share your secrets? I'm all ears!

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
