HFF everyone! Figs now ripe and delicious!

Superbe !! HFF Andy

Merci, Boro!

Brilliant. Does your fig tree produce the fruit before the leaves? I only ask because mine does!!! That looks a lovely house

Some varieties I had did that, they produced embryonic fruit at the end of the previous year and therefore took about 8-9 months to do their thing! Other varieties appeared more normally, as we would, perhaps erroniously, put it!
And yes, the house is on the large size and very nicely appointed inside and out, Jenny!
Many thanks!

Yes please!
HFF Andy & have a great w/e.

I think about 1/4 have already been snaffled (and queues have been forming outside the loo! - Mind you, not so much of a problem as there are 4 loos anyway!)
Thank you, Pete!

Yummy

Indeed, Maggie ... I'm not supposed to have them (diabetes) but they're SO delicious that I admit to having had three to date. I will admit this to my endocrinologist when we next meet but she knows I'm usually a good boy so I'm sure she'll forgive me!

I'm dreading the result of my latest HbA1c ...

Not sure to what that refers, Maggie. I'll look it up!

HFF Andy

I know with my wife around they would not be left on the tree, HFF all the very best for your weekend.

HFF, Andy. I hope your weekend is a good one and that it isn't spent on the loo after a fig-fest. All the best, mate.

Excellent capture! HFF! Stay well!

YUMMY !!!

Mine, in the centre-north of France, does not bear fruit. But it is only 4 years old :-) With the warming up I expect it to produce some in the next decade or so, no?
A very pretty capture with that perspective and those beautiful hues.
HFF Andy!

I had a tree that didn't bear fruit and I was told it was male of female (I forget which) and would never bear fruit! I would suggest you Google it to find out more, Eric!

:-(
I'd better check, indeed. Thanks for the tip, Andy!
(I favor any solution other than Google ;)

I quite understand, Eric! Good luck with your search. If you find out, please drop me a line - I need to be reminded!!
Best wishes,
Andy

My dear Andy, your information source doesn't seem to be a fig specialist! Or maybe you fooled me ? :-) Female and male fig trees bear fruit, admittedly at different times of the year - and this is the main way in which they can be distinguished.
However, I have learnt some things from this research, such as the fact that fig trees have flowers but not visible because they are inside the fruit. Figs are in fact not fruits as such but inflorescences. Also that they are pollinated by a single insect, the blastophagus (Blastophaga psenes L.), a hymenoptera related to wasps and bees, which I'll leave you to look up on the internet!
In short, I am reassured: with global warming my fig tree has every chance of providing me with figs. If the increasing drought gives it life.....
Nice Sunday to you!

Thanks for reminding me of info about fig trees that I once knew but had long forgotten (advancing years is the only excuse I can proffer!)
Best wishes, Eric.
(I'm still enjoying ours, and there are still lots more on the tree!)
Andy

Nothing better than fresh figs! HFF, Andy!

Un beau contre-jour sur ce figuier.

A nice green cool view Andy. A long time since I've eaten any figs but I believe you. Well done.

HFF, Andy!
Enjoy, and have a great weekend! :)

Fantastic! I've had a lot from my fig tree for the first time ever! Usually it's just a few but I even had enough to share with my neighbour!!

HFF and wish you a good weekend.

How lucky you are. Our tree is full of figs, but they will be only ripe in September! HFF Andy.

I have one in the garden but its actually too cold esp. over winter so no figs :-(( HFF and a good weekend, Andy!

Fresh figs are great ! HFF and a good weekend ahead, Andy !

I hope the birds around there aren't as adept at picking fruit as ours, Andy! HFF and have a great weekend.

It seems that they are not, George!

HFF! and a good weekend

pécher de gourmandise

HFF, Andy! Enjoy the weekend!

Bon regard Andy ! Bonne soirée

Lush green leaves and impressive looking fruit. I'm not a big fan of figs myself, but I'm glad you're enjoying your forbidden fruit Andy.

Enjoy the rest of the day.............and have a splendid weekend. Stay cool if you can!

Wonderful comments! Thank you all!

...a hot green HFF to you, Andy...

Thank you, Armando!

Terrific light! Wonderful shot, with the building as a backdrop.

MAny thanks, Gillian!

HFF! Hi Andy! Your house is beautiful and I love fig trees much!

Thank you, Angelika! I can't say it's my house - I am just fortunate enough that my sister was able to acquire it 5 years ago at a knock-down price and they had a spare room when things went belly-up for me due to my various illnesses and the lack of work anyway due to Covid! So, lucky me!

HFF Andy!

OH!! Superb!!
My favorite fruıt!

Belated HFF and have a great weekend,Andy!

Best wishes

Füsun,
Thank you both!

Bet these would be delish with some jamon serrano!
