OK, this time I slowed down and took some photos before I indulged.

Big eye, sweet, creamy texture at the top and slightly chewy towards the eye, very slight figgy flavor, good fig.

With all the rain you have had I am surprised it survived with the eye being so open.  Nice fig.

Yea Danny both figs I had from this tree survived big downpours the night before picking.

Hey Steve.

I'm just seeing this thread for the first time. You seem to be the only person so far to report getting ripe fruit from the Haikel (with pics anyway). I'm glad to see it. 

That fruit really looks different than the average fruit I've seen on the parent trees. The skin and flesh color look about right except the skin color isn't generally as uniform as the one fruit you have pictured. Most fruit I've seen tend to be more two-toned with yellowish near the neck and brownish blush being toward the fat end. The fruit seem to be more elongate on the more mature trees as well. 

I'm sure this has a lot to do with your climate as well as it being a less mature tree. I look forward to seeing how it progresses as your tree matures.

I really like this fig, especially when you get some fruit that are just right. To me, they seem to have a taste with a slight "peachy" flavor IMO. I would guess that they will perform even better in a dryer climate.

Keep us posted on how yours continues to do in that climate.
