My first ripe Hardy Chicago

Wow this really shocked me to find this fig hiding under a leaf just now!

Look how juicy this fig!  Man o man it was delicious too!  I am officially ruined haha!  Only fig on the tree, a very small tree.  If they get better I will be worthless. :) :) :)
 


Looks very good and syrupy, good job!

We've never had one but it looks good.
It's really great when I'm walking around our fig trees and a find a "surprise" fig where I wasn't expecting it.

Fantastic!  And looks perfectly ripe too!

Thanks for the looks!  Wow I'm still in shock over how good that was.  Next year can't come soon enough lol.

Looks perfect. Hide and seek when you didn't even know you were playing, and you came out the winner.

HC is the only variety of fresh fig I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying and I must say they are very good. Often overlooked and under rated IMO. Thanks for sharing. That looks delicious.

Looks very nice...congrats

Yum! My hardy chicago was very good this year. I keep picking too early but yours looks near perfect. I just noticed that the coin is a nickel! I think they should be bigger next year.

I bought this tree in August from Hirt's Gardens.  It came with this tiny fig on.  I almost removed it but thought it might be my only chance for a ripe fig this year.  Glad I did!  It might have been small but sure packed the flavor.
