My tree is from an air layer purchased on fig bid from a reputable seller with a YouTube presence. It's potted in a 15 gallon, and I've had it for three full seasons. It's not impressive compared to others that could be in that pot. White Madeira for example. WM#1 is earlier, more productive, and better in every way.

A couple of corrections, Ross: The highest price paid was $980, NOT for cuttings but for a well rooted plant. The buyer made 5-10 X that amount from selling his own cuttings and plants. Those who bought his plants probably made their money back and more. That's the capitalist fig system at work, I guess.
The location was shared with two trusted fig friends only, something that's been done routinely. Crystal ball was out for repair that day. Regarding the skin of the Ponte Tresa, it is a perfectly normal fig skin when not partially digested by ants or over-ripe . Good video, otherwise
