Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Introduce Yourself
« on: July 20, 2012, 04:47:53 PM »Beautiful photos, robguz24. Quick question regarding your Fig tree, do you know which variety that is and how does it do for you in HI?It was a White Kadota fig. It grew quite quickly and well, but I ripped it out last fall and now have a naranjilla and a dwarf red banana in the same spot. The fig fruit was average and virtually impossible to harvest at the right time. Too hard and they wouldn't ripen well inside the house. Soft at all and they were already infested with fruit fly larva. When you open them up they kind of look like larva anyway, so it was even harder to tell if I was about to get a mouthful of maggots. So it was more trouble than it was worth for me.
