... or rather the first one the birds didn't beat me to. The taste was very good (sorry, i'm not very good at describing flavors :) and slightly acidic. The skin was leathery, so maybe the fig needed more time to ripen? it looks ripe on the inside, though.

This tree grew from a seed about 5 years ago, I think. I suspect it's a smyrna.

btw, I read somewhere on this forum the smyrna figs do not produce a breba crop. is it true?

Nice looking tree! 

Not true at all. Calimyrna will produce breba. Growers here usually only harvest main crop though.

I bet it's a great thing to eat your fig from seed!  

Here are some more pics from yesterday. These were riper (see the purple ribs) and sweeter. No leathery skin this time :)

Shur,

Very nice fig ! Being born from a seedling is also very interesting..
Why do you suspect it is a Smyrna ?
In the meantime you could test the seed for floatability to try and find out if they are fertile..i.e., if they are not hollow and bear a live kernel...
Congratulations !
It's not every day one gets an edible fig from seed.

Thanks Lampo!

All figs that formed earlier in the season persisted and are now ripening. Figs that formed later (or at least most of them) shriveled and fell off, so I assume they missed the wasps.
I did that test you mentioned and all seeds sank. The tree itself is planted right next to a caprifig, so it's no wonder all the earlier figs persisted.
