Deirdre and the Adriatic fig

Pruning the figs has been a learning exercise and I think we may have pruned some of them too hard. This is the last one to get done, the Adriatic which is the last one to fruit.

In the foreground are the blackcurrants. There was quite a lot of borer in some of the figs so we are going to put kerosene down the holes and putty them up. Had to saw off some quite good branches though.
