Congratulations on your very first fig that you grew yourself. That's a milestone. I would guess from looking at it, that it wasn't fully ripe. But don't be discouraged. They will continue to improve and get better as your tree matures.Angel #1 at 2 Angels Mushrooms & Figs-Chattanooga, TN Zone 7-B

Looks like an english brown turkey breba which is to be expected. I'm also growing this variety. It had a couple brebas but the tree is young and they dropped. It actually has been kind of slow to adapt to in-ground growing but is looking good this season. It has a good main crop developing. I was also going to mention that it does seem like a relatively cold hardy variety so far from what I can tell (given we have had 2 mild winters in a row).Steve

Agree with 2AngelsMushrooms that it wasn't fully ripe, which could account for the disappointing sweetness. I'd guess that it needed at least 2 more days.Joe, Z6B, RI.Comment
