VdB and Celeste in Virginia

Here are some pics of VdB and Celeste from my yard in Newport News, Virginia this morning. VdB just starting to ripen, Celeste have been ripening since mid-July.

First photo shows not-yet-ripe VdBs that I'm growing under a massive bird net, second picture is a dish of figs I harvested, third is the interior of a ripe VdB.

Nice figs Vap..., thanks for sharing

They look great!  I've only been collecting for a 1 or 2 years but lately I've come to realize how important it is to have at least one early ripening variety.  My one in-ground tree (Mildenhall/unknown) has lots of decent size green figs but it may be another month before they are ripe.  The other trees are too young to bear more than a couple figs.

Beautiful!

Dave,

Glad to see another fig lover in the area. I am down in Virginia Beach and just starting to get plants going. 

You going to have cutting this fall/winter?

Chris, good to hear from you. I will have cuttings in late Feb.  Remind me then and I'll make sure you get some.

Love them VdBs. Thanks for the nice pics.

Dave, 

Sounds good!
