First of the main crop figs. Main crop is the fall crop. Rained last night, no splits this time.
Smith - in container. There was one fig last week. This one was broken from the rain, so I harvested it. Excellent flavor even though not quite ripe. The others will be left on a few more days.
Hardy Chicago - in ground. Usually the first of main crop figs for me. I was just going to pick one, but kept finding more. I pruned heavily this winter, to keep branching low. Probably no loss of crop, since the brebas always fall off for my tree.
Not shown until I get to Battleground today -
Sal's, while small, has several ripening figs.
Edit: Added photos of Sal's figs and comparison with Hardy Chicago. Maybe the Sal's were not quite as ripe. I thought the Hardy Chicago had more flavor, sweeter, juicier. But if not for tasting them side by side. I would have liked the Sal's very much.
