Bass, great pic! I looks like you picked at the most opportun time. Just goes to show the practice and patience it take sometimes to time a fig.

I have found how a fig that is picked properly and given to someone can really make a difference in whether they have a good experience with a fig or not.

You are correct. I could've picked that fig a day earlier, but leaving it on an extra day made all the difference. It made it a lot sweeter.
Someone's first experience with fig has to be with the best fig otherwise, they won't be interested in it.

The deep red in my opinion of the DK is a classic characteristic of this fig, when optimally picked. The below pic is not mine, but a guy's from the west coast. (I asked for permission to use this pic a while back.)
