Can't wait for this one! it's a classic, widely considered one of the best figs to eat. Got about 15 figs on the tree and this is the first one beginning to darken.

I hope that darkens a lot more.  It looks like it's turning yellow.

LOL Bob, I'm sure it will. I've been hawking this one and my Black Madeiras every day and finally noticed a slight change in this fig. Been having problems with birds so I want to be sure to get mesh bags on them asap

Mines right there with yours.
Is yours a  UcDavis cultivar or an imposter   ; ) ?

Looking good Barry.
Must've very warm there today for it to darken so quick.

Hope you get to enjoy more.

And don't answer Martins question;)

Dont listen to Rafed -    Barry he eats too many paleface figs.
