Banana Fig

I went through all our fruit trees in my comment to Anna on the Japanese Maple but I entirely forgot about our newest fruit the the Banana Fig.
This is what it looked like shortly after we planted it just this last April

Now here is what is looked like in September. It you look close you will see that it is covered with figs. They don't grow like normal fruit but come right out of the trucks.
It is looks horrible now having lost all its leaves in the cold weather and the people who sold it to us say we need to cut it down 50% when it goes dormant. I hate doing that but it is such a fast grower I will just have to grit my teeth.
