Re: FIg tree?

NM,
Some of the edible figs fruit ripen very late in the season and hold their fruit for a long time. What you see is basically a seed pod full of delicious necter and a bunch of tiny tiny seeds.
This type of tree is not exactly beginner bonsai material. If you really want a fig an air layer of a decent size branch will get you a better specimin to work on. But you are still talking 3 to 5 years before a pottable bonsai will be acheived. Very slow to develope.
