This was a first year fig and it did impress. It is hard to say what time of season they will ripen. This one was late, but it was excellent. Mine was smaller than some I have seen on some videos, but it was the first (and only) ripe fruit. The fruit reminded me a lot of a white Madeira #1, which is also excellent. I am still waiting for more to ripen next year before giving it any more analysis.
