Figs

I recently moved to a house with a rather overgrown fig. Over winter I pruned it back to a manageable size and since then it's regrown a lot of branches and new figs. Some leaves are 3 lobes and some are 5. The ripest fig is getting purple on the bottom and is quite fat. If the fig fly didn't get it first (I have it bagged now) I think it should be ready in a week or two. I don't know a thing about the varieties except the names, not what their trees look like. I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area so a very mild climate. Any help, thanks!

I’d love to hear what varieties everyone is growing.

I’m somewhat new to figs, I’ve been growing a Chicago hardy for the past 3 years and absolutely love it.

I’ve expanded my collection this year to include violette de bourdeux, celeste, beers black, and desert king. I doubt I’ll get any fruit from those varieties this year, but I will post some pictures regardless.

Such a tasty fig! I’ve heard it’s quite basic compared to other varieties, so I’m excited to try some others.
