Hi Keith.

Hope all is well with you and your family...

Where are you? What happened?
We all miss both your fig expertise and postings!

For those who do not know Keith, he was the original finder
of a locally good fig now known as the "Lyndhurst White".

He also found at least 2 more local figs; I have one of them
(temp. marked as KK for now).

I got Lyndhurt Black, aka Antionio Black from KK this spring. From an old ebay ad of his:
"If you want I’ll include a couple of cuttings from an unknown medium sized local fig Antonio Black (AKA Lyndhurst Black)"

I have it in a 7-gallon pot.
I can't even imagin it in ground in Zone 5a. It will take a lot of work to insulate it outside.

Is the Lyndhurst White cold hardy to zone 6a in the ground with no protection?

Ahhaaa!

Thank you God; Mr big-tall-man KK is still alive...

I do have one other 'unknown' fig from you KK - still simply marked as 'KK'.
There was something that sounded like Wellington(sp?) attached to it.

Is that one the Lyndhurst Black?

Here is a pic of the original Lyndhurst White twig I rooted from you back in them good old days...

Hey George,

Wellington is probably Wallington Blue, the one the owner called mafia fig. He never covered it. Mine was kinda neglected in a root bound pot the last couple of years. The Breba were supposed to be better than the main. This is the first year I got a breba and it really wasn’t anything special. I’m going to move it to a tub next year and see what happens.

I have 2 LW in ground, covered the first couple of years but don’t anymore. Normally suffers some winter damage. The owner disappeared a year after I met him, his tree disappeared the following year.

Antonio Black (aka Lyndhurst Black) is still there, I think Antonio is no longer with us. This was the first year the tree wasn’t covered. Seemed to make it OK. He had 2 other figs also uncovered (this year) that were loaded with yellow and green figs. I saw his brother doing the lawn a couple of weeks ago. Stopped and had a talk but he knew almost no English. I couldn’t make him understand I could grow a tree from a cutting. He kept on motioning to the ground trying to tell me it needs roots. I gave up. I wish I knew some Italian.

I found a few this summer that look promising. None get covered.

John’s Palisade Green is one of the biggest trees I’ve seen in NJ but does split after heavy rain.

Any of you Leaf Detectives venture a guess?

I think I saw similar leaves on eBay recently. I don't have any fig pix

Thanks George. Rdb was the first thing that came to mind. My Vdb leaves are close but really not like that. Never grew the other 4

I was in Clifton the other day and saw this branch sticking out right across the sidewalk. His whole side yard was wire mesh about 10 feet high covered in vines. So thick I couldn’t even see into his yard. I did my part for public safety :)
