I have one but no fruit yet.

I just wanted to know if its sweet like they say maybe we will have too wait.

They are a lovely tasting fruit.

Quite late and has a purplish skin.

Large figs and quite fleshy.

You wont be disappointed

I would say u should add more soil to the mix. It helps to hold the moisture a longer period.
That is what we "cooler/more rain" guys try to avoid.
Am using a kind of a 1-2-5  / Pine-Perlite-commercial soil mix. And it works great for me.
