My experience with fig dropping is that they get slightly spongy. Looking good with stripes forming ....... to be continued ;-) Attached Images 2016-07-06_19.59.34.jpg (183.75 KB, 56 views) 2016-07-06_19.59.03.jpg (33.81 KB, 52 views) 2016-07-06_19.58.27.jpg (182.33 KB, 50 views) 2016-07-06_20.11.00.jpg (424.65 KB, 48 views) __________________ RICHIE BONI HICKORY LOUISIANA ZONE 8B WARM HUMID WINRERS ARE VERY MILD LOW 20'S BUT WARMS RIGHT UP DURING THE DAY.

Keeping an eye on mine as well, here in Albuquerque, where fig fly does not thrive. Will compare notes and photos.

Looks good Richie, yours are bigger than mine (of course your growing season starts months ahead of PA). do you recall how long ago your figlets started to form on Sultani? __________________ Ed Zone 6A - Southwest PA --------------------------- Short wish list: CDDG, LSU Red, Dark Greek (Navid), Col Littman's Black Cross.

Mine are at the same stage, Richie. They ripened last year, and I expect them to again. I think Sultani is a common. __________________ Gary in CA 9A Seeking: Bebera Branca*, Colonel Littman's Cross

If it's common and it tastes like it looks, then it's going to increase my wishlist. Thanks, Ritchie and Gary, for enabling. : ) __________________ Dan, West Central FL 9a Wishlist- Great tasting dark or light figs with deep red interiors: White Madeira, Craven's Craving, Portugal Black Madeira, Sultani, Violeta, USDA Black Ischia, Dall'Osso, CdDB or CdDB-N

I would say about 5 weeks ago or longer. I took some pics when they were very small. I will check the date stamp. Does anyone know the taste And thanks for everyone response. Always nice to here from my buddies. Richie __________________ RICHIE BONI HICKORY LOUISIANA ZONE 8B WARM HUMID WINRERS ARE VERY MILD LOW 20'S BUT WARMS RIGHT UP DURING THE DAY.

This is with the wasp. An excellent fig. I am curious if it's a truly common too Attached Images image.jpeg (125.08 KB, 20 views) image.jpeg (111.61 KB, 24 views) image.jpeg (164.94 KB, 25 views) __________________ wish list: Violeta, Calderona. USDA z 10a, SoCal

Here in Albuquerque, the figs dropped. Then the tree dropped into the compost bin.
