Hello fellow fig appreciators! I live in an apartment building with a fig tree which has been there for years but dont know what type it is. The figs seem to always be on the tree all year round, dont know when it is ready to eat and strange it is always fruiting. I checked http://www.raysfigs.com/id-figs.html and it seems to be a 5-lobed, lobes spatulate--Calimyrna (G) But didnt really understand what type or mainly, where to get further information. leaf - http://i.imgur.com/p3yPfp6.jpg fig - http://i.imgur.com/G2IWn3H.jpg tree - http://i.imgur.com/TSgRGGY.jpg The tree is located in Melbourne, Australia. I would like to know so i can work out whether and when i can eat some delicious figs! Regards, Liz

Hi, Do you have more pictures of the leaves ? Are those figs brebas ? , as I'm supposing. Where are you located ? Are those pictures from this week ? Last season ? If you are in the North hemisphere, and those are brebas, you should check the figs for ripeness during the months of June, July and August. In the pictures you posted, you should be in between 1 and 8 weeks before ripeness. My first guess would be Dalmatie ... __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here
