Over a couple weeks, I noticed Mary Lane Seedless begining to ripen.  She is still in a pot, and in partial shade getting used to her new home.  We got her in April.

I put a scary rubber snake near her to scare the birds away.  It seems to have worked.

I noticed a few smaller figs had fallen into the dirt in her pot, so today was the day:

Here are her ripe figs after I picked them:

 

And here they are cut:

 

The flavor was light, not rich.  They are faintly sweet.  Maybe a light melon flavor.  There is a crunch, so seedless can't be right.  I'll see if the ones that fell into her pot eventually grow.  You never know.

Is the crunch in the outer casing of the fig, or the seeds?

You can't expect no crunch when you have the wasp.  I hope you liked it.  Do you think it's a keeper?

I was saving one for JD, but there are more on the tree, so I took a spoon to the pulp just now, and the crunch is from tiny seeds.  After I ate the pulp, I ate the rest.  The skin is quite thin, and I'm sticking to my lightly sweet, juicy melon flavor profile.  I actually LIKE this fig! 

Here is a photo of the reason the birds have not touched it.  Snake is on the ledge.

 

I know the tree looks scruffy, but we've had a couple storms roll through here the last couple weeks, and all the figs got beat up pretty bad.  She is very prolific, as you can see.  Next year she'll be in ground and pruned for branching.

JD just woke up, and I had him try the half I left for him.  He who does not like figs, liked this one!  He agreed there are seeds, but small ones.  I think this is a keeper here in Southern California.  Not so sure how it would do elsewhere.

Suzi

Snake on a ledge. That's some wisdom working. Ill have to try this in an attempt to end the mockingbird buffet

I love the snake!  Great idea!

Suzy, you are so right about the Mary Lane... great variety, I acquired a very respectable size tree through GreenFig (thank you Igor), and we shared the well ripped fig that I waited for him to try also...both him and I were very impressed of the taste.
Here's the tree.

       

this fig looks so much with my green ishia from UC.Davis.
