| I purchased a ( Monrovia ) Kadota tree about two years ago from a local nursery. It is in a 15gl. pot and stands about 5' or so at ground level. It is loaded with small figs this year.
I am posting these pics of the leaves and fruit and hope some of you can help confirm it is a Kadota.
Thanks for looking Rafed |

| Positivelly Kadota,Yes,it is. Now how well it will ripe fruits in your climate that has to be seen. In my climate I can see it would like more Sommer heat every Sommer. This Sommer it started right and early so it wilkl produce close to the maximum quality a Kadota can. But last year and 2008,it did not properly ripe fruits ,just mediocre quality due to cold Sommers. |

| Looks like my Kadota. I have the opposite problem Herman. Temps in the 115 range again today coupled with wind. Fruits ripen but are thick skinned and leathery. Dave |

| Since we're on the subject... I found something in CA last year that I thought was Kadota. Check out the pics..
I wish I had a pic of the flesh but just so you know it was yellow/white inside. These figs were not real flavorful. Is this Kadota? |
|
| No,Kadota is amber to dark amber,inside. Your fig has some color on outside ,and seem to be a hybrid,especially,because you found it randomly. Do not label it Kadota,because another missnamed fig will go arround. |

| Thank you Herman and Dave for your input. I'm at ease now. The tree I have is a beauty! Little John, Rafed |
