White Marseilles questions

First time growing this fig. They are getting huge. How to tell when to pick? Wife says they will turn from upside down to stem up eye down. First time with this veriety. Big producer for two year old plant. Ready to cut this one open !!!!

For best flavor wait until it droops loosely.  You will have to protect it from critters.

I agree

If you have time to share pics, I'd love to see what your ripe figs look like on the inside and outside. I'm rooting a white marseilles this summer and hope I'll get to try it out next year!

I will post pic with leaf & quarter inside and out. Cant wait. They are very large figs and getting bigger. Still no signs of ripeing but sure are growing bigger everyday.

Very exciting! Thanks for sharing!

I just bought this fig tree from you.i usually buy more rare figs but, I like it for myself.

I like the rare too but i like the tasty. This one is very nice to eat fresh. Thought it would ve white inside but the very center is yellow

That's why I got it. It's looks tasty! Also,very yellow inside.
