This may or may not help anyone but I offer it as general info. I did not list those young figs unless they were ones that showed tremendous growth and produced multiple figs. I normally do not allow my plants to produce until they are 2 or 3 (usually) years old.

Obviously this info is going to be different for those in other areas. I offer this as a rough guide to my fig's performance only.

Hopefully next year this list will be twice as large or better as I have a large number of figs I expect a crop from that aren't listed here.

This list represents the first ripe fig off the first plant -- I have certain varieties like Negronne (VdB), Cavaliere, the Col de Dames, JH Adriatic, etc. where I have numerous plants.

Also there is an age difference as some of these plants are as old as 9 or 10 years and their figs have that advantage.

It was also an odd year as the spring was very dark and rainy here in Northern Virginia, zone 7.

All my figs are in pots.

Thanks for posting the ripening order info.
It can be useful to members in other ares as well if the relative order of ripening stays approximately in the same order.
I may be wrong but I feel the dates may differ in other areas but relative order may stay (approximately) the same with minor difference of placement in the orchard or backyard due to micro-climate effects and other growing condition differences of plants in the same location.

Thanks for the great information. 
It helps to know this when deciding on what varieties to get so you can enjoy fresh figs for the longest season.

Please add to Ripening Order thread at "Start Here"

Doug I did pig out on figs for a good 2+ months.

Jon - done as asked.

Great info, Mike. The babies you sent me this year all thrived. Atreano grew like a monster.

That's great Bill.

Thanks for all the great info: will be searching more info on your best tasting figs....it helps us out a lot.

I potted up 5 of the ones you sent tonight as they showed roots.  Thanks!

Bob,
That was fast.

Awesome info thanks for posting it up!!  I love learning about the ripening orders.

P,
I just emailed you good news.

Michael,
Thanks for posting your info.
Its always helpful when planning for harvesting over the entire season. The actual dates will be different for every zone, but their ripening times are still relative, many of the late season figs will not work for colder zones, they are just too late.

Michael, thanks for posting this good information. It will be interesting when i compare my chart (same varieties) to yours.

Did you not have Black Madeira?

Mike,
Most of my collection is too young to have been on this list. This represents about 1/3 of the varieties I have currently. On most trees 2 years old or younger I pop off the figs and let the plants concentrate on building root mass. If the tree grew, for ex., 6 feet the first year (like my Atreano RR did) I'll let them ripen some figs, but I don't expect much.
I have several Black Madeira and several Preto as I want to grow them side by side and compare them. Next year my ripening list will be much longer and more extensive I hope. 

Thanks Micheal,

Great info. I hope I can discipline myself to keep accurate records like this once I get a few more producing. At least ripening dates are non-subjective, on the ratings/taste I will probably be less concise, likely the Robbin's rule the best one is the one in the mouth.

Yup good stuff, Im hoping some of those dates will fall a month earlier in my location. Time will tell!

Thanks Mike - these dates are very relevant for me since I'm not far away.  I know this is a lot to ask but it would also be interesting to have an indication of the span of time that each variety kept pumping out figs though I suppose this is affected by fertilizer and other conditions of the container.  I wonder how much having the figs in pots vs in-ground advances the ripening times - 1-2 weeks?  There also seems to be this phenomena of in-ground trees ripening earlier in the year as they mature.  I'm particularly interested in getting Col de Dames to ripen in-ground (ground next to a south-facing brick wall) in my zone though they could be grown in container if necessary. I'm going to try grafting these onto Florea (very early and cold hardy) to see if this makes a difference.

Yes it is a lot to ask as time travel is still just too taxing on me these days.

Time span in my collection was also very much effected by bears (well one bear), raccoons, possums, chipmunks (faireydiddles), squirrels, skunks, and perhaps a ground hog (pasture bastard), probably mice and wood rats at night, birds (including some pretty aggressive wild turkeys), deer, maybe foxes and coyotes, certainly ants, bees and wasps. If these thieves would leave my trees alone my ripening time spans would certainly be longer. As my collection grows I'm seeing more critters. My yard backs up to a forest of at least 200 acres and my side yard on one side is a virtual critter highway.

My Col de Dames ripened their figs - well the bigger ones did. I didn't do anything special and they didn't even have full sun all day. You've been to my house. My CdD's were on the back patio sticking out from under the deck. They didn't get full sun until 9:30 or 10. 
Do you think grafting will help?

Hi,
Just some questions:
Are you pinching at X (4-6) leaves ?
Do you water your trees or are they left on rain ?
Were those figs all main crops ? Or some were brebas ?
Are there years where some do ripen before the 6th of august ?
I took my first 2013 brebas on 27 July - but normally, I can take the brebas as of approximately the 10th of July

Mike, re. grafting, it is something fun to try.  My goal would be to get the three different Col de Dames on one tree!  If it helps with ripening time and/or cold hardiness that would be icing on the cake.  Re. the span of time over which figs ripen, I totally appreciate that a lot of factors influence this.  I suspect I will have to do something next year about raccoons, not to mention squirrels.  I would guess that of the figs you mention there are some though (like MvsB) that keep ripening figs until hit by frost.  At least that is the way my young MvsB seemed to behave last year.

Michael
I will stop complaining about a family of 4 raccoon that visit my backyard/front yard in fig seasons after reading your post ".........also very much effected by bears (well one bear), raccoons, possums, chipmunks (faireydiddles), squirrels, skunks, a ground hog (pasture bastard), probably mice and wood rats at night, birds (including some pretty aggressive wild turkeys), deer, an occasional human thief, ants, caterpillars, bees and wasps."

You have a much bigger collection of critters. It is just that the 4 spoiled raccoons cause so much  damage, more than I am willing to have patience with.

I tried to add a photo and it said I didn't have permission and when I tried a different way everything went away.
Again both under Attach files and insert photios I'm being told I don't have permission. Anyone have any ideas?

Ok well here we go. Starting with photo;
This is one of several bite marks that I wasn't sure of the ID of the biter. Perhaps a deer?
Deer do not have upper teeth but if it were leaning over . . .
Anyway - just thought you might enjoy.

ids,
All main crop that were not pinched at all. A few like the Capales had figs pinched as they were so overloaded with figs I felt it necessary.
I water every day.
My figs were very late this year as we had a very wet, cold and dark spring.

R,
Certainly many varieties will ripen for extended periods. I just didn't record and even if I had I'm not sure the data would have been any good as there were just too many critters. I had 140 organza bags I put over the Cavalieres and CdDames, etc. to try and keep these from being discovered. This worked for the birds but not for certain other critters. I finally had to dispatch the opossum as he was extremely greedy and also tore bags and left them with the fruit half exposed. My dog was excellent and spent many nights at the glass doors that overlook my figs. The exception was after one spraying he was no longer willing to chase skunks. We finally dealt with most everything with electric line and motion sensor lights and barking. The smaller stuff the cat killed -- and he killed a lot. There were innocent victims like blue tailed skinks, etc. but he left a pile of 3 chipmunks one night and I think he even ate a 4th one.
Because the critters did so much stealing comparing the length of ripening seemed a waste of time. I don't think the trees were bothered before they ripened their first fig as I kept a pretty good watch on what was about to ripen.

And it certainly seemed like the darker figs did not fare as well as the lighter ones. I did not get as much splitting and souring as I expected.

O,
I certainly have a lot of diversity but the amount of damage 4 raccoons can do is impressive. Turning baby raccoons into pets was very popular when I was young and I've been around a fair number of them and I can say without any pause at all that they are capable of extreme damage and I would not discount their destructive abilities in any way. I'm very happy that my dog is very aggressive with our coons and they are quite intimidated by him. Over the past 4 years my worst offenders have been the skunks. I have 2 traps now and I can usually spot them pretty well (provided the dog alerts me) in the yard behind the house, A few pumps on the BB gun and I can sting them pretty good while they're still too far away to spray me. It's hard to blame the critters and I want to share - and hopefully in the next few years I'll produce enough that I can rationalize a "critter share" but until then I'm afraid no ones all that happy about who gets what.
