So it happened.

We had a good spell of weather the last few weeks which really helped things along. I bought an unknown tree from a gentleman last year. It was labelled "Red Honey Fig". After scouring the web the last year or so, and comparing leaves of various figs, I had my suspicion this was a Brunswick. Now that I have ripe figs, I'm 99% sure my suspicions (I'll leave it to the experts to confirm).

I couldn't believe how big these figs got when they started ripening, they literally doubled in size overnight. The taste was decent, not fantastic, but I don't have the experience to rate it. I would say it tasted similar to the black missions I would buy at the grocery store, knowing that they weren't picked at the peak of the ripening phase.

I've included a few pics, let me know what you think.

 
 

Congratulations!
This will be the beginning and certainly much more will follow

Congratulations, the first one always seems to take forever but you will enjoy many more for sure!

Congrats on your first homegrown fig!  As the tree matures the fruit will taste better. 

Very Nice!  Congratulations and enjoy!

Congratulations

Congrats!  I know how exciting this moment is.

I think it looks like a NICE fig.

Hi psilva8,
That's a good start. Keep the efforts on.
When cared for, fig trees can be really rewarding !

Thanks a lot for all the comments guys.

Do we have a consensus that this is indeed a Brunswick?

It sucks the weather has now turned more seasonal, still hoping to ripen a few more.

nice fig, looks like Brunswick/Magnolia
