Update: 6 days 15hrs

No idea why it died; most likely a lack of summer water and competition from established trees

Fig White Adriatic (Cutting) 9/10

Joek's Edible Fruits
Update: 10 days 7hrs

Comments: -

Fruits progressively for 6-8 weeks with reliable large crop; plump green skin with bright red pulp. Grows profusely during spring/summer and fruits on new growth. Cut back easily from 3.5m to 2m every winter then I chop up and strike a couple of hundred cuttings to produce  new trees to sell or give away. Needs only 1 or 2 summer waterings and only one winter watering if a dry winter. No fertiliser, pesticides or other care required. I keep it cut small but can be left to grow large and will fruit just as well, but needs more water.

Fruit is best eaten fresh and given to neighbours - never enough left over to do any preserves. I expect it to fruit for at least the next 50 years.

I have 8 other varieties of fig, but this is one of my favourites.

4kg of fruit per year is awesome. Is the reason it stays on the tree because it is resilliant and your other varieties fall off?

Phil's Edible Fruits
Update: 20 days 20hrs

Comments: -

Persimmon is just recently purchased as part of the organic friut forrest that i am converting my back yard into. Fuyu is one of 19 dwarf friut trees already in the ground, and one of 30 trees planned to be planted. All trees have been by mail order from Sunstail, woodbridge and yalca and i waiting for the production of some of the outstasnding trees from Daly. Persimmon is selected as it is not a well known friut and one of the unique tress that will be visuallly attractive as well as productive. The tree has been in the ground for 4 weeks as have all but 2 apples which are 5 years old. As is the case i is a stick that is just starting to show sings of budding.

Fruit taste awful. I guess could be disguised as jam? Thorns are a big issue! Some thorns three inches long. I pulled all mine out deemed not worth the space.

Pity - I would have bought them off you! Daley's don't have any in stock at the moment.
