Upload the images in Microsoft Office and resize them for webpages. __________________ Wish list: Galicia Negra, Violetta, Violette de Sollies, Dan_la's Black Beauty 10, Craven's Craving, Most important: YOUR FAVORITE FIG. A lot of people put emphasis on popular/exotic cultivars, which is great because it highlights some of the better fig varieties; however, I am most interested in the figs our members love regardless of pedigree. Currently Growing: a bunch of varieties.

On most phone cameras in the settings you can reduce the resolution when taking the pics to make them smaller and more web friendly.

So my friends tree is LOADED with figs now! In fact, figs started showing up way back in late January. She sent me another picture of the figs on her tree & invited me to pick as many as I wanted!!! Just to recap, this tree has been at this property for many years. She & her family moved in about 2 or 3 years ago so they inherited the tree :-). I hope to go there soon & take day time pictures to show u guys just how huge this tree is. The figs are green outside and pink inside. I asked my friend to take a pic on a sliced fig. Although its not yet ready, i wanted to post updates. Any idea what type?

The Scicilian White Bifera, has similar figs. You should get five lobes on an older tree. Attached Images image.jpeg (568.02 KB, 41 views) image.jpeg (517.64 KB, 38 views) image.jpeg (677.91 KB, 29 views) __________________ Sas from North Austin TX Zone 8B Wish list: Becane

Wow! Those figs are huge. I'm trying to imagine a tree with that trunk, loaded with ripe hand-sized figs, and not salivate. And can't. Beautiful figs. What kind of flavor does a ripe one have? __________________ Dan, West Central FL 9a Wishlist- Great tasting dark or light figs with deep red interiors: White Madeira, Craven's Craving, Portugal Black Madeira, Sultani, Violeta, USDA Black Ischia, Dall'Osso, CdDB or CdDB-N
