Good day, I haven't been posting and commenting as in previous years. The one thing that never stops is time. With my fig trees and greenhouses, there is always something to do. Now that the weather is getting cooler, I don't have to baby my figs as much. They are going dormant. However, many of my trees still have figs on. Although some are still ripening, most are not worth eating. A week and a half ago, we had a cold snap. I covered my greenhouse and moved some trees inside. I moved Hmari in and yesterday as I were moving trees around I noticed these figs were getting soft. Well today, I picked these 2. They were very good tasting to my surprise! The good thing about this fig is it has a very tight eye and it does not split in the rain. This is definately one fig to have for those fig collectors! My tree is small but it is going to be one of the best! I got my tree from Bass around 2 years ago. Thank you Bass for making tree available!

What's up Chris? Smith taste better and is much larger and is a honey fig. But this fig has a super tight eye with a berry taste.

Super, thanks Dennis. All is great, how are you folks? I was on your neck of the woods this weekend. We went to the Rafaldinni vineyard and had a blast. Wanted to stop by but we were running on a very tight schedule .
