Pretty fig inside! Sounds delicious...strawberry jam. Thanks Harvey! 😊
Being the founder of Irene's Black Greek, in my research from Mecklenburg County court records, there was a Greek family that came to Charlotte in the 50's. They purchased a home and brought with them cuttings from their favorite fig. They stuck them in the ground and one of them struck. Years later, a lady named Irene bought the house and one day at the farmers market, she and rant and raved to me about her fig tree. She asked if I could root the branch for her. She was selling the house and wanted to plant a duplicate in her new home. I agreed and one Saturday at the farmers market, she brought me a long branch. I rooted her a few trees from that branch. I also visited her home to see the tree. It was beautiful! I took lots of pictures and ate a few figs. I posted the pictures on the Figs4fun forum years ago. Before she sold the house I had permission to visit the tree--and I did. I set a bunch of airlayers. Only a few struck. Irene's Black Greek is definitely not the same as BG. I have 2 large BG fig trees. I know for a fact they are not the same as Irene's Black Greek. I have other unknown fig trees from people who traveled to Greece and other places with rooted fig trees growing in their yards. I think I will keep these to myself and not share any of these due to the false rumors spreading in the forums and Facebook. Thanks for your observation Harvey.
Thank you very much for sharing Irene's Black Greek Dennis! I understand your frustration.
fig trees are beautiful
Nice!
Those fig trees are beautiful
We all make mistakes. What was the variety you showed in the video earlier? Thanks!
Black Madeira! Thanks for your understanding.
Will you have any Irene’s black Greek cuttings available in January or February? Whenever you start your cuttings sale 😊
Too early to say, I don't think I will have much to prune but it is still growing better than it has previously. I pruned off two smaller branches and made 4 grafts with them this summer and 3 are growing so if those grow vigorously in my high tunnel they may be a source of cuttings also.
