Common fig
🗓 Season: June · July · August · September · October
🔍 When is it ripe?
Two crops: breba (June–July on old wood) and main (Aug–Oct). Ripe figs hang downward, skin may crack, feel very soft, and often show a drop of nectar at the eye. Colour depends on variety (green, brown, purple). A milky sap at the stem means underripe.
The family who lives here moved from their farm in Italy in 1956. When they arrived, they were shocked and disappointed to find that there were no edible plants growing in the yard. They were used to being able to live off of what grew on their farm, so they immediately began transforming this space into a beautiful edible garden. This fig tree was one of the first things the family planted when they arrived in 1956 and it is still going strong!
