Black Ischia= FMV

15 years ago

This is my B. Ischia it looks terrible to me, Is there any special care I can give it? It has a bad case of FMV I think.

Thanks in advance.

From a UC Davis cutting Cecil?
Mine is and it looks very similar. I'm just happy to have it well rooted... maybe it'll improve over the next year!

Yes:Very Good question:Antonio. And I am glad to answer on this Forum,so other people see it,and if they want,they will do so. Here they are: Fig I fruited and found excellent tasting but not cold hardy. Needs to be grown in container here in New Jersey,or colder climates: Beall Col de Dame(all) Violette de Bordeaux (EL) Gipsy Fig (Zingarella) Adriatic Barnisotte(From UCDAVIS) Black Ischia Black Mission Sicilian Black (James Robin) These are all super high quality tasting figs,and container growing is needed for two reason: 1.These cultivars are not cold hardy 2.In container they can be placed in the sunniest spot in the yard,and so insure that they will get ripe every year here,because they are larger size fruitting figs that need more heat to get ripe compared with others.

Hello Kim, You would be right on which ones shows FMV. The FMV shows up with deformed looking leafs,and does not have the nice growth like healthy plants do. Our weather has been great, like you said yours was! Is the little one still propagating various things? That was cute! Cecil

looks like FMV, but not a really bad case. I'm tempted to go and take a picture of my davis VdB to show you what a bad case of FMV really looks like.

I have to agree with Chills. The VdB leaves don't look like fig leaves.

The UCD Black Ischia is among the slowest growing (along the same levels as Black Madeira and Rattlesnake Island) trees. They seem to be doing well in their second year and they've produced a fig or two each (birds got them). They just don't grow very quickly.
