Starting to swell up. Last year it produced a couple figs, but they were too late. I just have to protect from critters and hopefully I'll get my first taste of this one.

Sorry Rafed, I know how you lust for this one. Guess I better not post pics of the ripe fruit.

Barry,

Please do post a pic of the ripe fruit.
I will make me want it all that much more. I'm sure I will have it sooner than later.

LOL Of course I will, provided, the critters don't beat me to it. I did move it and protected the fruit with an inverted flower pot so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Picked it a day early as we are getting rain all day today and very high winds. Taste was excellent, very rich and sweet

Rafed, something tells me you will get your wish!!  Wish I could be the one to fulfill, but... I just have a feeling....... :-))

Suzi,

I told you once before, I know where your heart is and that's good enough for me. I know you would help if you could.

Thanks

Thanks Rafed, I wish I had a better camera so you could really see it. It is a pretty fig, nice mid range color with cracked skin and a really rich taste. I'm still hopefull that your start will make it. It has a green leaf bud now.
