My first ripe Panache fig

It tastes as good as it looks...in my opinion



and a few more ripe figs...i do not know the name

Let the next one get riper and it'll taste much better than it looks.   :)

You are right rconter, I should have let it stay longer on the tree but I was so impatient to taste it and.... afraid that the birds will get it first :-)

Don't you just hate watching a fig on your tree, waiting till it is just right and then coming out to find a big hole in the side, or it gone completely...

Nice Panachee. I have one small fruit on a very young tree, but I've tasted them last year from a 10 yr old tree. Very nice tasting fig. And pretty too.

And, yes, just yesterday I found a large hole in two figs that were almost ripe. Well, ripe enough. After trimming, together they made one fig. :)

My plan is to grow as many figs as possible, so us humans will get a fair share. :)

Search on organza.  So far birds have gotten none of mine  :)

bob is right. for individual figs, they work great

I ate 3 or 4 today and there are quite a few that are too far gone.  I think I can safely say I'm getting my fill of Panache this year and I still like them as much as last year.

Great pics and oh boy I do understand that anxiety that the birds and critters bring on

Unfortunately it's not just birds. When I've put those cute organza bags on figs, whatever it is often has taken the entire thing, bag and all leaving no trace. No torn or eaten organza found - nothing. Fabric-wrapped fig bon-bons. :)

We are on the edge of nature, and while that's very nice, it also means coyotes, raccoons, possums, squirrels, bunnies, deer (not seen for a few years) and who knows what else. 'They' look upon our entire garden as a moist, green buffet in the middle of dry hills. The figs are dessert. Fortunately they don't get them all.

good looking fig!

The Panache does look tasty!  From what everyone says it's a very good fig especially if grown in a hot dry climate as yours. I'm hoping mine will produce next year for me but even if it does it will never taste as good as your figs do.

Those are some nice pics, I just received almost a 5 foot tall panache tree in the mail Wednesday (thanks jimmy), I almost got one a few months ago when I was at Dalton Durio's place but he said they don't taste good that they are just for show so I passed on it. Then I kept reading about how good the really are so I decided to get one. The tree I got the other day has a few small figs but I don't think they will have enough time to ripen, if not hopefully next year I'll get to taste them.

The Panache is a great tree, It produces great fruit yearly, Your other pic looks like a Celeste or Flanders, the other ????  So many Figs and so little of time..LOL

I hate when birds or squirrels are interfere with my fruit trees. I have an apricot tree who was full of fruits and did not get to taste one. The crows started to eat them when they were green. The squirrels got all my Asian pears, they all disappear from the tree.

Talking about figs....somebody took a bite out of my fig :-(

I would use 1/2 x 1/4 hardware cloth to wrap around the branch in addition to the organza around the fig.  I tie the satin pulls around the branch, too.  The bag keeps out ants and yellow jackets, the hardware cloth keeps out the rest, especially if you attach the hardware cloth to a fence with a twist tie or something similar.  Don't want the critters breaking off a branch.

I let this one ripe more and was delicious.... just ripped in half and took a bite out of it...Yum !!
