I got the plant as a Deanna. After consulting pictures and taste reviews, just don't seem to match with mine. Anyone here grows it and can offer some insights? Thanks.
Green fruits & leaves.

1st ripen fruit. Maybe picked too late, tasted awful.

2nd fruit. Picked greener, tasted better (texture wise) but not sweet at all.

jennifer - you bet! I will wait a while to see if it turns good tho.
noss - not sure how to describe 'awful', just bland, not palatable. Maybe over-riped?
Especially for those who have Deanna, do the shape of the leaves and the look of the fruits (inside and out) match those of yours? |

Looks like the fig was picked too early (2-3 days) rather than too late. That skin is way too firm to be "too late". |

yea, with the first fruit, i didn't think it was too late at first. I felt it before plucking, and thought it was right. But the colors inside, and the texture and taste, all seemed to suggest over-riped.
With the 2nd one, I picked earlier, and texture was right, thought taste was bland. |

The 'bad' fig may have gone sour for any number of reasons. That could have contributed to the taste problem. |

I have come to terms that it may not be Deanna, but what does it look like? |

Deanna should be yellow on the exterior. |
