Anyone have any idea on the world's largest fig on record? 

I'm trying to figure out if the size of my figs are typical or rare.

The largest one this harvest season so far has been a Brown Turkey at 4 1/8 ounces.
See attached pictures.

welcome to the forum!

I think the unknown one posted yesterday may be bigger. How is the flavor? btw, beautiful figs!

Nice looking figs.

Welcome to the forum

In September of 2008 i had one weigh 4.55 ounces.
I think i showed the picture on one or both forums and i may have deleted since i took 99% pictures out of photobucket.

I still have picture showing it on the scale on hardrive though.

I'm almost certain that there are figs bigger than that as well
But
of course its taste that counts and seems like the finer figs do not get that big at least to my palate.

Here's a link http://figs4fun.com/Links/FigLink282.pdf that claims: "The largest fig grown is the Patrick's Supergiant fig that can weigh-in at ½ pound." I checked the Encanto varieties section but it didn't offer many specifics.

Also bass has one that gets real big too his hirschstetten

You have to separate breba and main crop. Brebas are typically larger. After that, there are several main-crop figs that are 1/4 pound (4 oz) or more. TyTy has figs that size of soccer balls, which would probably weigh 5-10#, realistically.

Possible largest figs would be Black Mission, Brown Turkey, Texas Blue Giant, Walker, Deanna, Jack's Quarter-Pounder.

However, some of the best pigs are no where near the largest. I will take 3 small killer figs over one giant mediocre fig, any day,

My biggest main crop fig so far was Brown Turkey from Monrovia that weighed 160 grams and wasn't fully ripe.

Mine are just starting to ripen Brebas right now, Nelson.  I'd say I look forward to the fruit, but ... Meh.
