Figs - woohoo!

Finally...evidence of fruit on the fig bush. I didn't think it would be an issue; the plant has been thriving just fine where we have it. But I didn't realize until last week that we shouldn't expect to see visible flowers prior to the fruit setting. The flowers are not outwardly visible but actually grow internally. I had been wondering when I would see it flower. I love that we got to skip straight to seeing fruit! Sure enough, as I inspected it this past weekend, almost 30 small figs were visible. I'm so impressed. You must know that this little "tree" (really a misnomer, it is SO small since we just bought it this spring) is only about 3 feet tall x 2.5 feet wide. It is absolutely covered with baby figs!
