Both were killed by the Arctic storm Texas had last winter. We loved the Celeste fig - ate them straight off the tree. But the turkey fig which was bigger was not as sweet we left for the birds. But we have noticed that apparently the roots were not killed as we see lots of branches coming up recently. So maybe all is not lost.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-33964130384048493062021-09-29T17:20:09.902+01:002021-09-29T17:20:09.902+01:00I always call Christmas Pudding 'Plum Pudding&...I always call Christmas Pudding 'Plum Pudding'.

Only a few each year but delicious. We were very disappointed to see recently that the new owners had cut down all the fruit trees.
