Had to run out in between downpours to pick figs, had to get them before the rain blew them up! Yes it's raining again and it's supposed to all day on and off. Got quite a few but saved these for a pic. These are mostly big, larger than many others anyway. Sal's Corleone at the top, these 2 are spitting at eye, then 2 Vasilika Sika to the right, then 2 Cucumber, then geez I forget which one that is, then 2 Bull's Balls, and a Poppa John.

barry what are they? they look like a good size figs. so far as far as size concerned, White Greek and Longue D'Aout are to largest ones i have. since LdA is in its first yr, it might get bigger next yr. now by the feel.. Genovese Nero is the heaviest. i should get some digital scale. __________________ Pete Durham, NC Zone 7b "don't talk to me about naval tradition.

Sorry Pete I tried editing but it didn't work. Just went back and edited successfully with the names. The light one on the bottom, can't recall, tag missing.

Art, those long green ones are Vasilika Sika. My tree is really putting out a lot of those this year. They are excellent figs!

barry, when you get a chance, can i see the pix of Vasilika Sika? i heard it might be similar to White Greek. my WG shape is similar, but mine turn pale green/white when ripen. this yr, two i had ripen nicely. unlike last yr, whole length of the figs ripen. __________________ Pete Durham, NC Zone 7b "don't talk to me about naval tradition.

Pete do you mean a pic of the Vasilika tree? The fruit is in the pic above it's those 2 long green figs. I posted pics of VS before too with it cut open.
