i salute you :)))

i had one today. probably last fig of the yr. chalk it up as one of those first yr "wow" fig. 

it ripen in night temp down to lower 30. the skin color did not turn completely dark, however, it was full of nectar, and sweet. not a desert fig, but one of those comfy fig for sure. 

i know it has been distributed widely. if you get a chance, grab one. got few members requesting this one from me already, and i'm completely out at the moment.. request will be filled probably next fall when one of the branch has grown enough to fulfill the requests. 

i'm beating myself up for killing one of the NB last summer by knocking it off too many times. x)
