Capri Figs tend to do that ...but you never know...

Capri fig

Hi kurab2556,
Nice cluster. I would think of a caprifig. But if not : how will those fig swell up ? There is no space for them to expand and ripen nicely.
Still, the photo is nice !

Hello kurab,

Can you open a fig and show us what's inside ??

kurab,

I see... you are curious about that prolific variety.
Think they are not edible ( I may be wrong..)  This looks like how the first crop of the Caprifig /Profichi  shows, in nice cluster of fruit on the top of the branches -on previous year's wood

If the picture corresponds to the date it was first shown in 'infojardin' blog - May01/2011 - it matches the features of Profichi figs around 30 to 45 days before being ripe and liberating the pollen loaded fig wasps .

Here you have pictures, showing clusters of ripe Profichi figs (19thJune/2013) and wasps leaving these fruit to pollinate nearby Smyrna figs.
This is a different variety of Caprifigs .
