Florea is the first fig to ripen here this year (in pot), ripe today. It’s always first Florea, or RdB, or Improved Celeste at the end of July. Great sugar-caramel flavor.

This year for the first time I’m keeping an eye on Planera which may be on the verge of swelling. Supposedly an early fig. not the earliest but might be of note this year, will see (bottom photo).
