It's now about 15 feet tall. The figs are very sweet and good size, similar size to apricot or plum. It has survived 15 degree cold in the winter. Most of the figs are the summer crop, ripening in July and August. They don't all ripen at the same time, which spreads out the yield. The ripe fig is green on the outside and pink on the inside, so soft inside it can be eaten with a spoon. You can tell it's ripe when the fig is very soft and drooping. I prune it in the summer after the figs have been harvested. Figs form on the growth from the previous late summer. This is a fast growing fig, the fastest of my 6 varieties. I like this tree very much.
