In June, we had our first harvest of figs from the lone fig tree in our garden but it was a small harvest.
It's October now and the fig tree is now about 1.5 m (5') feet tall with two main branches fruiting quite heavily. There are some 50 fruits on these two branches which are ripening individually. The figs are of a fair size - mostly about 3 cm in diameter when ripened and very sweet.
So far, it is a battle between humans and birds for the figs. To date, it is 6:3 in favour of the humans. :-) I need to get some proper netting for this plant!
