This is the first year producing figs and they were delicious! 
Very sweet rich honey flavour not watery at all.

This 2 yr old tree lost all its leaves in July. 
It was loaded with figs so I put it in the full sun for them to ripen.  It didn't like full sun during that heat wave without full access to water.  Mia culpa since I don't use SIPs and don't have time to sit there watering twice a day. 

Anyway it grew back its leaves and ripened all the figs.  Yummy so 3 cheers for Peter.

 
 

It looks good, I have heard good things about this variety. What's Mia culpa?

Thanks Devin!

"mia culpa" people say that around here when they are accepting the blame for something.

I was referring to it being my fault that the leaves dropped off the Peter's Honey in July because I neglected to water it for a few days in the heat wave.

In Italian the expression is actually "colpa mia"  means my fault. 

All in all it worked out in the end, you got to eat the delicious figs.

@tinyfish - Thanks! 
It was surprising that Peter's Honey after yellowing and dropping the leaves grew them all back and ripened the figs!  
I am expecting big things from this fig since I will make sure it has nice spot in ground.

@Alan PH is known for being sweet how was the weather in N.C. this year? 
Thanks

Beautiful pictures! My Pete's Honey lost all its leaves and all its figs around the same time. The leaves came back and the tree is just now putting out some small figs but there is probably not enough time for them to ripen. It helped to deep soak the tree overnight once a week with a slow hose drip because surface watering just wasn't enough. It's a shame because it was one of my better figs last year. 

Thanks for the explanation Pino! I read the reply but never checked on here and missed the rest of the updates. There are really too many good figs...

I love my Peters Honey fig, Pino. It is a great fig! Mine is three years old. Last year was the first year it produced. My harvest was only about ten figs but they were absolutely great!

Meg and Alan I agree this fig is a keeper. 
For me now I need to test and see how it does in ground in zone 6.  If it doesn't do well in ground I will keep in containers.

[QUOTE=alanmercieca] It's first winter it died almost to the ground in zone 7B yet first winters can be manipulative. It seems to have about the same cold hardiness as Kadota based upon what I read online.I think that it may be able to survive in your climate in the ground if you could get the trunk and branches to be at least 6 inches thick. In my climate that thick is certainly possible.[/QUOTE
How many years does that take? Thanks,
Devin

Wow! They are beautiful! Congratulations!

I think for me it would be 8-10

Mine didn't do quite as well this year as it did last.  Seems like there were many, but not as good.  Still has some leaves, though.  Congratulations, glad yours has done well this year!

To me this is a Marseille fig. Looks the same and apparently tastes the same as well.

@ Stormy

I have heard that said before, I would like to see a side by side comparison

Have to say I'm a little jealous. I got some cuttings for Peter's Honey this summer and they started off with a big bang, lots of roots and then leaves. Then the leaves all fell off and I guess they died. My LSU Purple cuttings were treated in the same way and they are growing like gangbusters.

@Stormy - Sorry not clear what you mean by a Marseilles fig?  Do you have some photos you can share?

@figoffrandy - agree!

@hotstuff - Check and see if the stem and roots are not rotted.  If not it will grow back when it wakes up again.   If the roots and base of plant are rotted you can cut off the rotten part and root the remaining cutting.
