Looks very nice! I like to wait until it pushes some honey out of the ostiole and it gets very sweet and like pure jam inside.

Your tree looks very healthy and happy! How old is your tree? It looks a decent size, but I am use to growing them in containers so this stunts the growth. Great picture of the fig, what is the taste profile?

That looks great, Frank. May I ask how old is you tree? Is it a fast grower for you in ground?

Becky. ..This was a cutting in Spring 2013 Grew real well last year and then the Winter of 2014/2015 killed it to the ground. It came back later in late Spring and grew like a weed this Year...I did have it mulched with Wheat Straw about 6-10 inches.....Taste is Outstanding super sweet and juicy.Bill.. ..this Spring 2016 the tree will be 3 years old. It was top killed last winter but still produced Figs this year and they are Yummy! It looks like I may have some that will not ripen!

Love my Stella too Frank! Squirrels got more than me this season, the worst part was they were taking them not even ripe

Beautiful fig! Big and juicy. Thanks for sharing
Galicia Negra, Violetta, Violette de Sollies, Dan_la's Black Beauty 10, Craven's Craving, Most important : YOUR FAVORITE FIG . A lot of people put emphasis on popular/exotic cultivars, which is great because it highlights some of the better fig varieties; however, I am most interested in the figs our members love regardless of pedigree.
