Sucrette: A Figtorial

I noticed this Sucrette (UCD) swelling a week ago.  Yesterday it was beginning to droop.  It was soft but not quite at optimum droopage yet.

This morning it had drooped a bit more and looked more dehydrated.

So I picked it.

And the big reveal...

Rich, jammy, sweet with a tinge of acid.  It did not disappoint.

Hi,
Can't see the pics !
Could you repost them ?

I can't see the pics either.  Also could you clarify whether this is the UC-Davis Sucrette or the Baud Sucrette (which seem to be different), or something else entirely.

Fixed.  This is a UC Davis Sucrette.

Is it true that sucrette needs a wasp?

The Sucrette from Baud is a common fig and does not need the wasp. 

Okay thanks I'll make sure I get a baud strain when I do

UCD Sucrette doesn't need the wasp either.

Okay that's strange, I had looked into it once and read it wasnt a common fig. Maybe they have a different strain in France or the page was mistaken, it was a few years back. Are the differences between the two strains large?

The eyes have always been closed on mine.  I can't imagine that it has needed a wasp.  

Beautiful photography.

What an excellent-looking fig! Beautiful pics!
