A very unusual tasting fig for me. After hearing mixed reviews, I didn't know if I would be lucky enough to taste it at its best, however it was a delicious and memorable fig.

BTW, thanks to Optimist (Lilli) for advice on downsizing my photos.

Nice looking fig! thanks for posting

I had one in the field in Texas, but my brother ran it over with the tractor. So I dug it up in August, and now it is growing in a container in Denver. It looks like it has made the transition... So next year.

Thanks PHD, the second cut fig had a bit of rot near the eye, so I trimmed it. So far, the three figs I have picked from this plant have matured during rain. I wanted to wait longer on this last fig to try and mature it as much as possible, but I had to pick it. What makes this fig unusual is the coconut flavor and acidity. The first two I picked we're less mature, and I noticed it tasted like fig leaves smell, with a lingering acidity and berry taste. The last fig was much more coconut flavored, and maybe more of a tropical fruitiness, still with the acidity. This has been one of my most vigorous growers since I put it in the ground this spring. It started producing more figs but I removed them, though I still have four more that I expect will ripen soon.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do James, I wonder how your climate will affect it. I can't wait until next year to try it mature in the heat of the summer, this summer has been cool and everything seems late to mature.

Thanks Mike. Last year was the first year it fruited in Texas, but I was in Colorado for most of fig season.

Thanks for sharing mine are to small to fruit this yr.  This makes me look forward to next yr. though.
