Hi, Of some 20 figs, 18 dropped. But two kept on hanging on. Finally they started swelling some 10 days ago, and yesterday one started to have more color on the skin, and that triggered the harvest. They had a taste on their own, refreshing, but what surprised me was the good texture and the lack of seed crunch. The skin was a bit thick but hey, it is 18th October ! Here are the pics : __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

Congratulation! I haven't seen any ice crystal fig yet. I saw a lot of sites, and people but nobody had any pictures about this variety. By the way, this variety has a very unique leaf shape. All I just can say its beautiful. __________________ Kristian Location:Hungary,zone 6B Currently growing: Freckled Beauty, Saint Anthony, Saint Maritn, Martinete (Pérola), Armenian, White Marseilles, Ronde De Bordeaux, Hardy Chicago, Marseilles Vs Black, Gino's Black, Natailna, Sal's El, Laradek Ebt, Green Michurinska, Michurinska 10 , Vagabond, Negretta, Negronne, Orsara, Dalmatie, Laradek Ebt, Adriatic Jh, Improved Celeste, Kútfeji Black, Black Plate, Deszki mézédes

Interesting fig. Looks like it needs a long season. What is the native country of Crystal? __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

Never seen fruit before on this fig. I believe it's from Afghanistan if not mistaken. __________________ Jarrett Spokane, WA ZONE 6A Proudly Serving in the United States Armed Forces, 2009-Present Everyone should have a green thumb Figs: Nero600m

I was told by the person that gave it to me that it needed a long season but it would produce figs.... good to see proof, mine was too young this year to grow figs, but it sure is pretty. __________________ Gloria --------------- 7a, maybe 8
