Hello! Vista Mission fig fruits, recently acquired first year fruiting.

25 grams, sweet figgy taste, jammy. Strong aftertaste, slightly acidic in the one that was starting to split. Thanks for looking,
Devin

Nice looking figs and sounds like a great taste!
How big was the plant when you got it?

Thanks! It's a two year old rooted cutting in a 2 gallon pot. It's main branch is close to 4' tall, the secondary is 2' and there are two others at about 1'. The two I ate came from the main branch and there are three others ripening still on 4', 2' and one of the 1' branches. After it finishes fruiting I'll likely repot.

The majority are the 5 lobed type but there a good number of three lobed. They say young trees are variable. Thanks,
