[Rudypayraise]

Thank u so much! I went back and updated the list.

[Rudypayraise]

Somehow some of the photos got switched he'd around and I wasn't able to provide the names to each variety. I will add notes momentarily.

[JoePAFig]

Great figs Rudy, beautiful!

[Rudypayraise]

I appreciate it boss.

[vispot]

Looks amazing, the Celeste fig looks like the ideal fig

[Rudypayraise]

Thanks it's always been dependable and actually dries on the tree. Sweet and simple.

[JT1923]

Wonderful harvest. I wonder why some varieties create bloom on their skin while others grow smooth and shiny.

[Rudypayraise]

I wonder that myself some get that almost waxy grape color. Kinda adds to the beauty. I'm torn between both shiny and matte lol.

[JT1923]

Lovely not to have to choose!

[ginamcd]

Glad to see your getting some good figs down there! How was the Kelly Green Unknown?

[ginamcd]

@Rudypraise I just realized I have your Kelly Green Unk mixed up with Blaze's Kellie Mt Etna Unk! Sorry about that.

And thank you for the offer. I think yours was fairly well distributed this year, so perhaps there are reports on ripening time from colder zones...? I'm slowly eliminating most late ripeners from my collection, so before I accept your generous offer I want to make sure it'll work up here.

[Rudypayraise]

ginamcd honest mistake no worries. JMF74 is in Rhode Island it appears. We will need to see how it does. Offer will always be here for you.

[ginamcd]

@Rudypraise Thank you! I'll keep an eye out for others' reports.

[tinyfish]

It would be hard to decide which one to eat first or which beauty to save for last.

[Rudypayraise]

Definitely true. Luckily these ripened almost a week in between each other. The Vista is actually from your cuttings. Im am very happy with how much flavor it packs it was of course the earliest.

[JMF75]

That's a great line up of figs Rudy. Glad to see you're still able to get quite a harvest after the frost.

[GuyA]

Thanks for sharing. You have done a wonderful job caring for the fig trees, hence the results.

[Rudypayraise]

Thank you, they respond to our care and that's rewarding.

Looks great!!
How large are those DFW Kelly’s?

[Rudypayraise]

In my eagerness to inspect and eat I failed to weigh it. In general it's a medium sized fig fig has some good weight in the palm of the hand. I'd say the size closest to compare it to is a Panache. I have some more coming so I'll be sure to dust off the kitchen scale.

[Halligan-]

I’ve only weighed 1 all season, lol. It takes long enough to photograph them before we eat, lol

I was just curious if it was as big as Texas strawberry. So far it’s been twice the size and had better flavor than wm1, JHA and strawberry Vert. Also a totally different shape.

[Rudypayraise]

That's one I dont have I'd like to add it too.

[Otis]

Great looking harvest and I'm sure they're not done yet.

[Rudypayraise]

Thanks man keep em coming.

[Ktrain]

Awesome in every way, congrats on the haul.

Those are things to be proud of!

[Rudypayraise]

Appreciate that brother I sure am.
