Early ripening fig varieties

10 years ago

I have two wonderful fig trees (varieties unknown) that ripen very late in the season starting mid September. They look healthy and get plenty of sun and heat. Can anyone recommend a variety that will produce a main crop of figs earlier for zone 7a (Westchester co., NY)? Thank you

Mid September is not all that late for inground trees in 7a. How are you growing them? The earliest and most productive variety for me so far is Florea.

Hi! This link has a chart on it showing you when a lot of fig varieties develop. It's for the PNW but it will give you a general idea.

Thank you very much for you replies. I have a decent crop right now but I would love to enjoy fresh figs earlier. I'm not sure of the varieties but here's a pic of one of the two types of figs that I have.
