Is overflowing. I thought I'd killed it several times by not protecting it in the winter, but it's always come back. It's loaded this year. I've made fig jam before & may again. So far, I've just been picking and eating and sharing the bounty.

Was it a good year or is this a usual amount? Seems like fig trees are hard to grow. The Wielding Truth Aug 2022 #3

Well, Maryland, that expians it. Our winters are too harsh. They freeze out. Enjoy. The Wielding Truth Aug 2022 #6
