I had my armenian in a southern facing window over last winter and it started producing figs so I got my earliest figs from it this year.  How old is your tree.  I read that the void in the center of the fig becomes less as the tree matures.  Next year it will be three years old.  I don't recall a peach taste.  I'll have to take note of that next season. 

  My tree is 3 year old.Every winter dies to the ground.  Marius

Marius, are you saying it dies to the ground each winter, and then comes back to ripen a new crop of figs, each year?


Bob

yes Bob,as you can see in the first picture.

Marius, that looks like it might be a good fig, for people in areas to cold to grow figs, without winter protection.


Marius, where are you located?

Bob

  25 miles south of Cleveland,OH.

Near Austin, TX... My 'Armenian' died to the ground last winter and suffered horribly (one of the worst of the fig trees in the field) during the exceptionally hot/dry summer we had.  Last year, the summer was not so severe, it was one of my best growers.
