Im trying to post but "file too large" apparently.

Upload the images in Microsoft Office and resize them for webpages.

Im on my iphone. Is there an app for that?

On most phone cameras in the settings you can reduce the resolution when taking the pics to make them smaller and more web friendly.

I email the picture to myself , that will give option to reduce picture, you than can save and use the new picture

So my friends tree is LOADED with figs now! In fact, figs started showing up way back in late January. She sent me another picture of the figs on her tree & invited me to pick as many as I wanted!!! Just to recap, this tree has been at this property for many years. She & her family moved in about 2 or 3 years ago so they inherited the tree :-). I hope to go there soon & take day time pictures to show u guys just how huge this tree is. The figs are green outside and pink inside. I asked my friend to take a pic on a sliced fig. Although its not yet ready, i wanted to post updates. Any idea what type?

Fruit from my friend's massive tree! Its at least 40-50 years old she says. The fruit is quit large. She likes to eat her figs unripe but they are huge! I couldnt upload the pic of the tree...too large & i need to resize.

40 years fig tree is indeed huge. 
I envy your guys in the mild winter area. no need to protect the trees too much. :):)
also trees have longer growth season.

The Scicilian White Bifera, has similar figs. You should get five lobes on an older tree.

Hey, Sas, thx for the input! Yes, her figs do look very much like your example!! The picture of one leaf I posted earlier shoes 5 lobes! I think you hit it right! Now i can share this with her:-)!

Torontofig, yes, we are blessed here. My friend gas invited ne to prune the tree as mych as i want when the season is here. So, i will be hapoy to share, of course.

Wow! Those figs are huge. I'm trying to imagine a tree with that trunk, loaded with ripe hand-sized figs, and not salivate. And can't. Beautiful figs. What kind of flavor does a ripe one have?

My guess is it's a big green fig with pink inside.

Amiright?
