Red Palestine first fig

[FigFiend]

This is the first of my red Palestine fig to ripen. I have two plants and this is the smaller of the two. This one was abnormally large compared to the rest. Could have used a couple extra days but the birds and squirrels have been mercilessly. Still was delicious. Fruity and sweet. Really looking for this to produce a large crop. Probably move in ground.

Looks delicious.

Lovely! May I ask your general location? I would like to know more about this fig and where it grows...

Hi Joe. I'm in San Diego. But this (and many of the varieties I'm trying) was taken from cuttings from someone in Michigan who brought them from Jordan. I've heard some say this is and khurtmani are the same but I have some khurtmani growing as well and they appear to be developing differently so far.
