Hello, My name is Matt and I'm 61 and live in Aloha, Oregon.
Since I was a kid I always loved a fresh fig right off the tree. But I always thought that there was just a green variety or a purple variety. I planted a Desert King about 12 years ago and now it's quite large. My wife and I love them but we didn't like the fact that we only had a couple weeks of figs then nothing till next year. Well during the pandemic and lots of time at home, I discovered that there are thousands of different varieties and you can container raise them and keep them fairly small and that you can just buy cuttings and propagate them and graft them. Dang, my whole fig world has just exploded. Now I have about 15 varieties, all smaller, and looking for more. So far it's been a fun ride. Learning a ton
