Hi kurab2556, Nice cluster. I would think of a caprifig. But if not : how will those fig swell up ? There is no space for them to expand and ripen nicely. Still, the photo is nice ! __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

kurab, I see... you are curious about that prolific variety. Think they are not edible ( I may be wrong..) This looks like how the first crop of the Caprifig /Profichi shows, in nice cluster of fruit on the top of the branches -on previous year's wood If the picture corresponds to the date it was first shown in 'infojardin' blog - May01/2011 - it matches the features of Profichi figs around 30 to 45 days before being ripe and liberating the pollen loaded fig wasps . Here you have pictures, showing clusters of ripe Profichi figs (19thJune/2013) and wasps leaving these fruit to pollinate nearby Smyrna figs. This is a different variety of Caprifigs .
