r/Figs

On a family vacation and there's this beautiful fig tree at the house we rented!

I bought a house and moved this past winter (northern Georgia) and had it had this bare tree in the back yard, thought nothing of it. Well its leaves filled out this summer and now noticed some things growing. Learned they are (most likely) figs! i know nothing about figs but am looking forward to hopefully eating and enjoying them! The tree is about 15 feet tall. I included pictures from this week, a few months ago, and close-up of the leaves and flower. Any insight, guidance, advice, etc would be greatly appreciated!

We've had back to back heat waves since early spring this year and I guess my fig tree is quite happy with this weather! I've harvested about 6/7 kg of figs this week. My fig tree is also growing crazy and some of the lower branches are now touching the ground... I need to prune it hard this winter.

I just bought this fig tree I’ve never eaten a fig before can’t wait to try it.

Is this normal? My violette de Bordeaux has half its leaves a different shape. Context: it’s a relatively young tree 1-2yo.

Should I be concerned with the leaf curl?

This may be the earliest I’ve started getting ripe figs (about five days ago). I often have to pick them before peak so they don’t ALL get stolen/ruined, but a day in the sun by the window and they turn out all right.

My recent fig harvest. The Hative d’Argenteuil is vigorous, and the flavor is pretty good, with no bitterness or chewiness.

This is a fig I was gifted 2 years ago and I didn't label the variety. It has died back to the ground every winter but I didn't do much to protect it aside from mulching with hardwood leaves. Zone 7b. It set fruit last year but I failed to properly water it through the drought. I'm assuming it's black mission and will hopefully be able to tell for sure when the fruit ripens this year but I was wondering if anyone experienced could tell at this stage.

What could be possibly happening to my tree? I live in a 9b zone. Summer has been mild so far. I’ve been watering it 3x a week. My soil is clay.

caprifig ?

I’m pretty happy with the early results of repotting my two cuttings. I’m a little surprised by how much they have grown in one month. I call the one fig (Neighbor Mark Fig) because it’s a cutting from my neighbor and he doesn’t know what it is.

Just planted this Sequoia Fig in ground 4 months ago and already I have this large branch. Should I Air layer it or cut it in half and put a different variety on it? My goal is to make a frankenfig but this branch is just too large. What should I do?

In Virginia.

Planted a Chicago hearty (I think?) last year, it did great and gave us 5 figs which isn’t bad for its first season!

Didn’t take care of it over winter and all the branches died, I thought the whole thing was dead.

But in April, some new growth started!! Here’s the before and after.

Any recommendations?

My very first fig! Bought this from a nursery as an LSU purple and when a bunch of figs sprouted I couldn’t wait to watch them turn purple. As I was looking, this one fell off with the lightest touch. It’s very soft so it has to be ready- but why isn’t it purple? Is it diseased or possibly a different variety? There’s another one that’s big and almost ready but still no purple but more brown striations.

Edit: Forgot to mention the white is IV organics 3 in 1
