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? |

Fruit from my friend's massive tree! Its at least 40-50 years old she says. The fruit is quit large. She likes to eat her figs unripe but they are huge! I couldnt upload the pic of the tree...too large & i need to resize. |

The Scicilian White Bifera, has similar figs. You should get five lobes on an older tree. |

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? |

My guess is it's a big green fig with pink inside. |
