The fruit sprouts directly from the stem of mature branches, instead of on a fruit spur like apples and the like. The leaves are huge and prehistoric looking, and the plant itself is beautiful and huge.Connie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489596100395140547.post-10359926736918748632015-09-29T16:29:08.062-04:002015-09-29T16:29:08.062-04:00Tree of Knowledge ... perhaps that's why I'...Tree of Knowledge ... perhaps that's why I'm such a smarty pants. :)Connie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489596100395140547.post-87587718349888953932015-09-29T16:28:28.077-04:002015-09-29T16:28:28.077-04:00I can only imagine how large these fig trees would...I can only imagine how large these fig trees would get if they didn’t have winter damage to come back from each year.

The other one that came back well is Green Ischia. Two that came back moderately are Brunswick and Chicago Hardy. The others have lost their tags.

Delighted to see new growth in the spring, which shot up during the summer, and we also got some figs. Isn't nature grand? Yummy, so glad your trees came back.
