Berrrrrrrrrr. It is cold here. In the 40's this morning, cold NW 20mph wind. I took in 6 young'ens that have unripe figs. I hope it will be warm enough later in the week to keep them out all night.

I hope you Northeastern fig growers don't lose the figs you waited for all year.

Peg :Your Fig Is Dfic 17,Brown Turkey in the UCDavis Collection.
I have one identical with yours and I allready ate one fig.
It was Good But not excellent,in my climate.I can see it could be excellent in dryier,hoter climates. The one you see here is about 100 grams.This is not the English Brn.Trk,and not The Ca.Brn trk,but another Brn trk very possible the one originating from Provence,Southern France.
This is m.h.o..
Best regards

Here is a picture of DFIC 17

Thanks Herman.
This tree is young, 1 yr. I wasn't impressed with the taste but I'll give it time. There are still 2 more figs to ripen but it has gotten cold here. Supposed to warm up a bit by the end of the week. I sort of thought it was some version of Br. Tky. Did your's crack? That seemed to be the biggest problem. Split wide open and I still had to cut it off.

Peg

Yes The one you see in this picture is cracked and the one i ate was cracked too.
Like i said not too bad,when taking in account,how rainy, our weather is here,compared with Ca,or southern France.
Mine is Small too it is a cutting received in Dec.2006
It is Showy and large to be sold comercially as fresh fruit.
I do not think it will make it here in my trial row.
Happy Gardening

Herman,
It has been a very hot, dry summer here. Very few rainy days. I don't think it was rain that caused the spliting. In fact, if I didn't water it regularly it wilted.

These didn't just crack the second one split right in half. The first one had dried fibers in the center like sometimes you see at the eye end. The flavor wasn't bad. They took a long time to ripen.

We will both have to wait a year or so and see what they produce when they mature. I'm making note of the name and will so label it until someone disputes it.

Thanks and Happy figging,

Peg

Corection Peg:I received it in Jan. 2006,not in Dec.

Herman, That is about the same time I got mine. We will have to compare notes next season, God willing.

Thanks for your help in identifying it.
