Hi spirit wings,

Thank you for sharing that, they are REAL tiny, then. Look ing forward to the comparison.

Hi Bill,

Thank you for looking up that information, I get a better idea of how TINY they are, I thought Buda's were small....I WANT SOME FIGS now!

I could get Skye a mini-me (a look-a-like smaller version of himself)....how cute! LOL

It is not likely that he has Recessive Red or Yellow but of course, it's possible.
Most Fig breeders refer to them as Red or Yellow but they are normally Ash Reds and Ash Yellows, I have them too. I also have Khaki and am in the process of making Lavender.

I will post some pics of our Figs one of these days, soon.
