Another dark, very old Smyrna fig..quite large and presenting a number of skin colorations depending on the ammount of sun it gets, very juicy, sweet and flavored.
Pulp is of a very light amber.
Very robust and prolific tree, has to be strongly pruned every year !

Francisco, If Jon lives in fig paradise then you must live in fig heaven. You sure have a great choice of figs to grow and eat. To be so lucky.

Thanks again for wonder photos and descriptions!

Great photos, thanks.

Love the photos and descriptions.

Thank you all for your time looking at those pictures and your sympathetic comments.

Gene, well not exactly, temps have been in the 40++ºC a bit more like hell or better, a very hot purgatory!!

Francisco, hot would be better than all the fig spoiling rain we are having. This is the wettest I've seen it since I've been on this property of about 10 years. The ground is so saturated that it is smelling like swamp. Thanks again for the pictures and stories about figs that we can only dream of.

That is bad Gene ! This is the worst time to bring water close to figs..
We do have our own surprises occasionally... Typically not a drop during Summer but... sometimes a storm or two appear by mid June and a good deal of brebas goes.!

Or by about now (mid August/knock wood!) depending on the weather distortions in Western Mediterranean fronts, heavy SE winds from the Sahara loaded with red fine sand come and ...burn everything!...then 3 or 4 days later there come the most damaging rains..
I am told that these E - SE  winds may eventually get that desert sand far into the North Atlantic and eventually to America...this is bad!
Let' pray..
