Not anyone's "holy grail of figs", but it was my first taste of the season and well worth eating. I had to jump the gun a little since I will be traveling when they would have been fully ripe, but two were quite soft, so my wife and son and I shared them and all thought they were pretty tasty!

Thanks, All!

Jo-Ann, no, the main crop figs aren't nearly that big, although I would still consider them on the large side. This tree doesn't get many brebas--I think the four I showed is the whole crop--but they always ripen early enough to make me look forward to the other trees' main crops.

Ken many frown on Brown Turkey figs but if they taste good to you thats all that matters.
Keep your pictures of figs trees coming this season and thanks for sharing this one.

Ken,

I've never had a Brown Turkey fig.  But those look pretty good.

Is there really a bad fig? I know, some would say yes. Personally, I think each has its particular merits. Nice brebas.
