Here is the first fig that this tree has produced!!! I picked it a little early because I just couldn't wait any longer! I have no idea what type of fig it is so feel free to take a guess but the big success here is that it produced!! This is a breba crop fig. Check out the pics.

Not very sweet, kind of bland. Maybe because the tree is young and the rain we have been getting. I don't have much to compare it too so my best description would be a hint of peach with a very slight crunch from the seeds. The skin was very thin and soft. Overall it was good and I'm sure it will get better over time.

Try letting them ripen a couple more days and see how they are. We've all picked too early so no shame!

Nice tree guys ,and looks like it has potential . Personally I avoid touching the darn things until they look ripe and droopy enough to pick because I know there's no guarantee I won't pull them off when I get that close. Fig envy syndrome! Thanks for sharing.
