I tried my first fig from TC12 today. It had some damage from a bird, so I picked it a little early in order to salvage some of it. It wasn't my favorite, but I will keep trying this fruit as the season progresses; I'm sure it will improve as additional fruit ripen. This tree got a headstart, so the mid-July ripening date isn't typical for this region.

I have had some first figs off trees that were horrible.
My first I258 was terrible. I might have picked it too early and it never properly ripened.
I want to see a fig from your tree as it gets older.
Please update this post as you get more figs.https://youtube.com/channel/UCHHopi_E99OBvafBPEcF_pg

That interior color and dripping watery juice of that second fig are signs of fermentation/rotting. It should have smelled and tasted sour as well.
Fig honey is thicker and more gelatinous...It shouldn't be so watery.Don - OH Zone 6a Wish list: Verdolino, Sucrette UCD, Rubado

I finally got a TC12 fig that seemed ripe. Mediocre taste--maybe it will improve later.

Sounds like you really liked Dalmatie and Algerian Chetoui. I had a Stella but I sure would be interested in the Algerian Chetoui. Looks good Pete.Tim J. Camas WA 8b Take rest in the shade of the fig tree which God has grown and taste the sweet fruit of his labors.
