Grade A Large eggs, Grade A Large fig

How old is your tree?

2 yrs.

This is my wife's favorite eating fig, big, juicy, figgy, sweet and a good producer.  I like it but it is at best 6 or 7th on my list.

Looks good Danny,waiting for mine to grow up.........

Nice looking figs! 
Do you know why is it called Blue? Doesn’t look like blue to me :)

I don't know but I would guess that it is comparing it to a blue giant star which is quite large.

The fig can look kinda bluish but I think local conditions have more to do with it.  I cannot swear to it being true to type.  I contacted Fannick's in San Antonio and they don't stock it anymore ??? They told me there were only 3 authorized growers of the original Blue Giant so I guess there some licensing issues on it.  Whatever it is, it is a good fig.

Those are some good looking figs. Hope mine turn out like those, maybe year after next.

Danny, is this the one that got stolen from you?  So very sad.

My Texas Blue Giant is a 3-4 ft. plant with 2 branches in a large Walmart pot started from a cutting April 2014. There were only 3 figs. As with many of my other trees, it lost most of it's large lower leaves from rust after the heavy rains in May and June. I picked them this morning fully ripe with honey coming out the end on the largest one. They were OK  - a little on the watery side but I blame my care - trying to get leaves growing again with lots of water and fertilizer.
