I took these pictures just a couple of days ago, and feel like I'm being suckered again. This is an in ground (prime location!) plant - and I'm running out of room. My husband found this fig under the back deck, where it had been dumped by previous owners of our house. It really is a lovely plant to look at when it is all leafed out, but thus far - 3 years - I have not tasted any figs. Last year there were several breba figs, but all but one fell off and the one that remained never ripened. There were tons of rock hard 2nd crop figs on the plant in early last November. IMG_1041.JPG So this year the plant is covered in brebas. I had issued an execution order on it earlier this spring and it started pumping out little figs. IMG_1037_edited.JPG I have another very similar looking and acting tree that came from Orange County Nursery mis-labeled as Violeta. I wonder if both plants might be Tena? If so will they ever ripen in San Jose? Any other guesses on what they might be? Attached Images IMG_1037_edited.JPG (383.55 KB, 65 views) IMG_1041.JPG (215.00 KB, 57 views)

The leaves remind me of Brunswick, But not sure. http://figs4fun.com/Thumbnail_Brunswick.html __________________ Pennsylvania http://www.treesofjoy.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trees-of-Joy/110193909021138

The leaf does look similar but the figs on my trees stay green to maybe yellow green, and their flesh is amber colored. I suppose if they ever got past the rock hard stage, the flesh color could change.
