Troiano Calabrese and Chiapetta ripened simultaneously. I know it's only two figs, but they are my first and  I declare success! I only hope the rest ripen like these.

Thanks Dale for posting the pics . I have both and I'm happy to see the figs on them.

Good looking figs.  Thanks for sharing the pics.  =)

Thank you. And thanks to the generous benefactors who sent me cuttings.

Dale, They look good.
Mr. Chiappetta  stopped by my house a week ago. I mentioned that the figs that have grown on my young trees were reddish. He was surprised and said his are usually dark purple. Maybe when our trees get older the figs will darken up.

Art,

   I for one am willing to suffer the time to see.

Dale,
 Did it have a melon flavor? How did your Troiano Calabrese taste? Mine should ripen pretty soon.

Congratulations!  Inquiring minds do want to know about the flavor.

They were the first to ripen on their respective plants. I picked them the day after a sorely needed rain. The Troiano Calabrese is in a five gallon bucket. It was sweet with just a few seeds, peachy-melon, but a little flat, which I will attribute to the age of the plant and the cool weather we have experienced this summer. The Chiapetta I picked because it split. It probably needed a day or two longer on the tree, which is in a one gallon pot. It was subtly more intense and complex with even fewer seeds. I expect each to improve.

Today I had two Blue Celeste from a tree that dropped most of its fruit (darn). They were definitely sweeter than either of the above, but also much smaller.
