Some leaf pictures of Malta Black taken today, June 18, 2021.

Yes, I will post some leaves throughout the season. I will try to get some tomorrow to start with.

I would love to know why 'Chris DiPaola' thought Malta Black was an ancestor to Celeste. I have heard this before. Maybe he knew something that we (or at least I) don't.

No. The stem was cut very close to the fig.

Main crop Malta Black, fig in center. 7/24/2018. This tree was rooted and pot grown in 2016. Planted in ground in 2017. As the tree has matured, the main crop comes on a little earlier.

Malta Black showing how easily it grows into tree form. These trees were not pruned. The one on the left was rooted in a typical upright fashion. The tree on the right was rooted vertically and produced multiple shoots. 6/22/2018.
