Purple Jordan - Common fig?

Just wondering if I'm wasting my time growing this tree. It's a giant. It looks like a tall sunflower. It has huge leaves like a sunflower. It started to drop it's figs and they were getting pretty big.
So to those growing Purple Jordan. Have you ever got a ripe fig?

Yes I’m growing Purple Jordan. Strong grower, 2nd year in pot, no figs formed last year, have a few figs this year I’m hoping will ripen. Do your leaves look like this?

Yeah, that's the one. Here's some pictures of mine. It is loaded with figs. Dropping one by one.

did they all fall off? Did they fall off before or after they started turning purple





Keith, No they all didn't fall off. The ones that did had turned color before falling.
Not much taste to it.
