It looks like Tena will be the first of last year's UCD cuttings to produce fully matured fruit--three of them are swelling and starting to lighten in color. Having never seen any examples of ripe Tenas still on the tree, I'm wondering how should they look so I can pick them at just the right stage. Can anybody post a shot or two? Thanks.

Ken, here is what mine looked like on the tree.



This is what it looked like a couple of days later, very ripe. It's the fig on the right.



I had another one that I didn't let ripen quite so much and it was better tasting. I hope this helps.

Thanks Gene, that does help. I'll try to pick it before it gets over-ripe. I just noticed that a fig on a potted Tena is also ripening, so maybe I'll have a few chances. Is this one of those varieties where flavor improves over the years as the tree matures?

Ken, this is the first year my tree has fruited. I planted it in the ground last fall. I got the tree from Tim (fatandsassytexan).
