Hi
just wanted to share some of my summer pictures...
figs have started ripening already in some locations. i would show some more varieties but it is still early.
the pictures show:
1- black brazil-roxo de valinhos figs from a local tree.
2-the weight of these figs is pretty good :) they are very aromatic but very heavy and after 5 figs i was full and dizzy from the sugar...
3-a tree over an entrance in an orchard-grows from the house roof probably more than 50 years old.
4-in the same orchard -the tree grow in a soil full with lime. the water with the lime comes from a construction site-anyhow the soil is full with lime. and the lime dust even covers the figs....
the starnge thing is that the only ripe fig i found was on that tree covered with lime dust...
does anyone else found this peculiarity?
5-very gnarly tree..
will share some more pics later..
