Coming near the end for this year. Frost is in the forecast, but if it no frost, I will be picking more. These are Beal, Sal's Corleone and Cucumber, that I picked yesterday. Attached Images Beal,_Sal's_Corleone_and_Cucumber.jpg (103.77 KB, 43 views)

Yep (the big freeze is upon us). Similar situation here -- I've got about 8 more figs tantalizingly close to picking (5 or 6 Aubique Petite, and 3 Verte). But not clear they'll quite finish ripening. Ah well. Your pics look very nice Barry! How do you like that cucumber fig? What is the flavor like? Mike __________________ Pauca sed matura.

I'm with MichaelTucson. Is the cucumber the strain sold by Almost Eden, by chance? __________________ Rui Southeast CT, zone 6B

Source for my Cucumber fig was Bill's Figs. I think perhaps he got his scion from Jon. It's a good fig, I stink at taste descriptions, sweet, figgy is the best I can do. Very productive tree. This one was one of the earliest to produce and obviously last too so a very long season. Sorry no cut open pics because these 3 went to a well deserving nurse.
