Who has experience with this fig? 

I have one in-ground out on the S. side of my barn.  It has been in the ground two years now and at present is a very bushy four feet tall, as broad across as it is tall.  It must be cut back and put under a barrel (a half barrel, less than two feet tall) each year.

It is loaded with figs; some branches have a fig at every leaf--those are the ones I pinched early in the year.  Others have only clusters of figs at the ends of the branches. It is the end of August and not one fig has ripened on that tree; none are larger than a man's thumb, and none that long.

A Hardy Chicago planted twenty feed away has not grown so well, but it has a few ripe figs, small and not especially tasty.  They are ripe, though, so I must conclude that the Pak is a late fig.

What am I te expect?  How large will these figs get, given plenty of water and good growing conditions?  Are they sweet? 

I don't know but I want one

For me the main crop ripens very late and many years does not make it before the season ends. If you grow Osborne Prolific you will have some idea of the size of the ripe figs though the shape is flatter and the color darker. It is good tasting for such a late crop, but not special. The breba crop on the other hand is very heavy, of good size and sweet. The breba ripen about a week or 2 before celeste in most years and is the best dark breba that I've grown.

If your looking for a Pakistani fig for main crop Skardu Black (UCD) crops heavily has good size fruit, is very sweet and ripens for me most years the first week of September.

the links hopefully take you pictures of the two trees on photobucket. 

The picture links are not working for me.

It doesn't work for me either. Copy and paste the above in your browser and you should get to my photobucket album. Maybe, I hope.

Great photos. Thanks for posting. I have some of the same trees from UCD but mine are just little cuttings. it is nice to see what I have to look forward to. Thanks for posting.

Thanks, Guys.  ''

My daughter wants this tree for her husband.  He says he has visited the gardens of the governor of the province where this fir is supposed to have come from.  Won't do much good though if it willl not ripen here.
