Looking good Frank. Thanks for sharing

I hope this is the year the tree is strong enough to mature figs for you.

They look great Frank !

They do look good, unfortunately if what I've read is true and they are main crop figs, they will drop.

Frank,
I hope you 'get lucky'. They have been nothing more than a tease for me...for the past two seasons.

Hi,
From the leaf, Not the French/European dauphine .
Your tree looks healthy .
Good luck with the crop !

I have good news and bad news...

Good news - Looks like the one remaining fig (I pulled the rest, wanting the tree not to divert energy into figs that would drop) was on its way to ripening.

Bad news - the birds got to it before fully ripening.

So, what's the deal with Dauphine from UCD? Is is or is it not a San Pedro fig?

I have a Grise de Tarascon (supposedly a syn. for Dauphine) with some main crop figs the size of marbles right now... If they ripen i will post pics to compare to see if its the same.

Blame Birds

Thanks for sharing

I have a Dauphine from UCD, so I am hoping for a main crop.

Tylerj, it would be great to know whether your GtD is Dauphine. I have Dauphine and Granthams Royal. My Dauphine had
a die back for 2 seasons, hence only main crop figs where all will aborted. Presently I have over a hundred Granthams
Royal figs and they are ripening -- they sure look like ripe DAUPHINE.  We have already enjoyed some GR figs with more on
the way.
