Description
Near 100 degree temperatures and a start time of 3PM made for a warm hike up a beautiful natural drainage in wild fig heaven. Getting to know people for the first time on a fig hunt is something special. I was amazed to see fig trees thriving in such a dry area. The drainage created an oasis with deer and figs everywhere. We were tasting many figs when we came upon a tree with dark figs that had dried fig nectar at the eye. I tasted the fig and said, “tastes like raspberries”. Simon added, “very creamy”. I looked at Doug and suggested, “Raspberry Cream?” Doug said, “perfect” and a new seedling was named. I proceeded to take several cuttings.
The next day at the WCFF I shared cuttings with several folks that attended. Some were from fig wasp regions and some from places without the fig wasp. I thought it would be a good way to find out if it is common. I ended up with two cuttings to try for myself. One had a huge hole in it and I doubted that it would root. The other cutting looked perfect. As I expected only one rooted.
