Just curious if anyone has a tree that is producing figs I have a couple young Monstrueuse trees and was wondering how the figs are? 

I do have two plants of Monstrueuse fig. Both have a few figs but not as big as the name would suggest and not close to ripening and can't be sure if they will ripen in the next 30 days before frost with cold temperatures setting in, expecting 7C late Wednesday night.

Monstreuse is one of the first three fig trees I planted over 10 years ago.  It is a very productive tree with good quality figs.  See my thread at http://www.figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/monstreuse-6442479

Harvey,
I looked at the fruit in the thread you referred to above and have a question now.
Does the fruit external (skin) colour stay green when ripe as seen in the picture or becomes lighter green or yellowish?
It is good size fig in the picture.

Mine always stay fairly green.  Honestly, until I started hanging around here more frequently (okay, almost constantly) about 10 months ago, I didn't like the thought of a fig with a skin of green color and usually overlooked this "weird" tree.  I've been getting to know it much better this year and like them.  I think when Donna was here a couple of weeks ago most of the ripe fruits were a little bit too far gone.

I am asking because I thought a green ripe fig may deceive most critters for a bit longer.

The birds do seem to mostly overlook Monstreuse at my location.  Panache is another that they mostly ignore (had one fig damaged this year, none last year).

Maybe a bit "far gone" but still tasty, Harvey ... btw send me those picture IDs unless you are too ashamed of those baseball mitts you call hands to have the pix posted.

Donna, those are "manly" hands and I'm proud of them.  Took me a week after a Scout outing to gather together all the payments and receipts to get my report done last night.  Off to getting some captions done! :)
