White Marseilles and Alma

I purchased these two trees from EL a few weeks ago.  Both came with a few figs on them.  One of the WM split so I cut it open...

Couldn't let it go to waste so I ate it.  Nothing to compare it to.  Mildly sweet and a bit melony I guess.

The Alma has one changing color.  I thought Alma was a yellow fig?

Nice, Charlie.  I hope the rest turn out better for you.

Congrats on the purchase, Charlie.

Fig skin often turns brownish in humidity or cool weather.

Thanks that pretty much describes what it's like here.  Nights are being in the 50's - 60's F and of course much humidity, day's in the 80's.  There is a thick dew every morning on everything.

Thanks, the white stuff is crushed oyster shells.
