I learned lots from the Fig Forum at Garden Web http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/fig/ There was another site too but darn if I can find it right now. There were tons of pics and lots of info on growing. We have critters here too but fortunately so far nothing has touched the figs other than the yearly rust that is easily treated with organic fungicide. Dorthea,

I have no idea what shape it may be. It may take several years to be old enough to produce fruit. Figs do grow here and I have three different ones already. The problem is the wild birds, the deer, the chickens, my dogs, etc. dorthea recently I bought a fig cutting called “banana fig” and I am trying to learn more about it.

The look of the Vern's isn't like a typical Brown Turkey but the photos and descriptions of Vern's I have found lead me to believe that is what I have.
