Mine is only 1 1/2 yrs old and the tree rats got the figs last year!
It was described as vigorous but not tasty, in cruder terms LOL

Pattee,

I was given a GBG and it's a pretty tree.  It hasn't put on any figs yet and I don't know what time of year it's supposed to bear, here.  I would think this fig should be very ripe before it gets picked.

Marius the figs look very impressive . Are they sweet ? Would you recommend it ?

Noss I wondered if they need a very warm climate to ripen enough.
