I hope this is the year the tree is strong enough to mature figs for you.

They do look good, unfortunately if what I've read is true and they are main crop figs, they will drop.

Frank,
I hope you 'get lucky'. They have been nothing more than a tease for me...for the past two seasons.

Hi, From the leaf, Not the French/European dauphine . Your tree looks healthy . Good luck with the crop !

I have good news and bad news... Good news - Looks like the one remaining fig (I pulled the rest, wanting the tree not to divert energy into figs that would drop) was on its way to ripening. Bad news - the birds got to it before fully ripening. So, what's the deal with Dauphine from UCD? Is is or is it not a San Pedro fig?

I have a Grise de Tarascon (supposedly a syn. for Dauphine) with some main crop figs the size of marbles right now... If they ripen i will post pics to compare to see if its the same.

I have a Dauphine from UCD, so I am hoping for a main crop.

Tylerj, it would be great to know whether your GtD is Dauphine. I have Dauphine and Granthams Royal. My Dauphine had a die back for 2 seasons, hence only main crop figs where all will aborted. Presently I have over a hundred Granthams Royal figs and they are ripening -- they sure look like ripe DAUPHINE. We have already enjoyed some GR figs with more on the way.
