My First Fig in Alaska

[Alaskan Tropics]

I'm pretty excited that my Desert King was able to ripen a fig here. This is my first fig ever and I really hope next year will bring more.

Very cool!! Looks great too!

[Vitooch1]

Lol, wow 😳 Nice and jammy.

[Finodejete]

Nice! Your temps this week are like my winter temps. You are getting 16 hours of sun and I’m getting 14 hours right now.

A fig in Alaska. That is awesome! Hope it tasted as good as it looks.

[Alaskan Tropics]

It had a nice sweet berry/peach flavor to it. I really enjoyed it.

That looks delicious!

[TNJed]

That’s awesome! Congrats!

[Garlic_Mike]

What hurts is you have a better zone in Alaska than I do in Connecticut.

Nice fig.

[Halligan-]

That’s as good as it gets!
DKs are so good when ripened like that!

[Ktrain]

That looks very tasty!

Nicely done.

[2AngelsMushrooms]

It looks like you did a great job growing it. Way to go!

Wait! Alaska has zone 7?!?

[Alaskan Tropics]

There is only about a week or two where we get lower than 10 degrees and I've only seen it dip below 5 once in 10 years. For the most part our winters tend to stay around the 30's.

Bravo!!

Nice fig.

I know right! I’m in Michigan with zone 6 looking at the Alaskan zone 7 with envy lol

[Tongalahi]

That’s a really nice sweet juicy avatar you have there Tongalahi

[Tongalahi]

Thanks, it definitely was sweet and juicy! It’s a Kesar mango a member of the tropical fruit forum sent me! I bought a box of random in season varieties and was so in love with them that as soon as I finished the first box I ordered another lol.

The ocean really makes a giant difference. It’s amazing to see how close zone 4 and 7 are on that map

Beautiful fig. I hope you get more .

[Joshj]

That’s Awesome!
