' Atreano ' ........ ripe figs !

The main-crop figs on my "Golden Atreano" are starting to swell and will be ready for eating within the next few days.

Overnight, the figs went from the hard-green stage to tennis-ball size. Now they're loosing the green coloration, drooping, and starting to go yellow-green. When fully ripe, they will have a deep-gold, banana-yellow skin. I'm going to hold back on the water at this point to concentrate the sugar in the fruit. (My trees were badly damaged by a terrible hail storm that hit my area two weeks ago. Leaves were shredded to ribbons, and too many of the figs showed dented-in, bruising on the skin ..... Nature ALWAYS trumps Man!).

Happy main crop to you!!!
