Autumn - 3/3/16
The very first Fig I've ever grown!
And it tasted exactly as it should - absolutely delicious!
Also the one and only Fig on my one year old Fig tree.
Variety - White Adriatic.
I kept it protected from fruit fly and other critters with a pest exclusion bag I made from net curtaining.
I think the tree I have is not a dwarf variety (I can't remember where I bought it from).
But apparently they grow quite well in pots and don't mind hard pruning.
Winter is pruning time.
I'd love to grow a few other varieties but I am running out of space.
Product Description
This fig is another one of David Arnold’s (I'm not quite sure who this is) recommendations, the White Adriatic fig is the one, he says, that impresses people the most. Sometimes called the strawberry jam fig, in reference to its sweet jelly like red flesh, excellent flavour and flesh quality, a curiosity with this variety is that the early crop on the tree tends to be fruit with light coloured skin, and the later crop is more dark blushed, trees have very large leaves
