Roselea starts with ... Yesterday I purchased a number of dwarf fruit trees. I noticed that the White Adriatic Fig will grow to 5M instead of the regular 2.5 - 3M dwarf size. The nurseryman advised to grow it in a pot or keep it pruned. This is okay but can I expect fruiting in the second year like regular dwarf fruit varieties.Any advise would be appreciated. | About the Author Roselea Innisfail 20th August 2008 3:25pm #UserID: 1263 Posts: 9 View All Roselea's Edible Fruit Trees |

Kath says... Figs grow and fruit beautifully in pots. To bonsai your tree it will need regular pruning as well as root pruning, it is usually done with potted specimens but can also be done with trees in the ground by cutting through the surface roots with a sharp spade, this is good for trees like figs and will reduce the height and spread of the tree. If it is a cutting grown plant it will fruit straight away. There is a great blog about growing fruit trees in pots, have a look at this. http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/blog/2008/07/bonsai-fruit-trees.html | About the Author Kath Cawongla 21st August 2008 9:40am #UserID: 2 Posts: 363 View All Kath's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... I have said that the fruit of the White Adriatic in my garden was bland and disappointing but since then I've tasted a couple of sweeter, fuller flavoured fruit. These are the ones that I did not eat immediately off the tree; they sat on the kitchen bench for a few days, softened a little and that seemed to have improved their flavour. | About the Author MaryT Sydney 21st February 2013 5:25pm #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jenny says... My first white adriatic, a good size but I was dismayed by the splitting around the "eye", is this usual for this type, or related to uneven watering? The ants were enjoying it before I could, and it did not seem evenly ripe but even the firmer area near the stem end was quite nice. Not sure how long to leave it before picking, it wasn't "droopy" as Mary T has suggested but the splitting eye was getting to me! Still a few fruit to ripen on the little tree.
