Fig? Brown Turkey is a popular variety in more Northern areas.

Yes it is a fig but as to which one I have no idea. Not a plant I grow.

Thank you

Mt brown turkey looks like that except that the figs are darker.

It's definitely a fig (Ficus carica), but I never heard of a variety that could take a New York winter. Unless he has it in a tub, and is planning on taking it into a greenhouse in the winter.

Thanks, no it's not in a tub. He planted it in MY garden, lol! I know the nerve. He just moved up here from Georgia so maybe he doesn't know about it's tenderness. Well it's a good thing I like figs, esp Brown Turkey. If it doesn't survive the winter than it's not an issue. The figs are just developing so they'll need more time to fully ripen.

It always takes a few years to adjust to a move--for people as well as plants! :)
I once almost moved to Raleigh, North Carolina. Who knows how long it would have taken me to adjust, thoughI hope I wouldn't have tried to plant saguaros there! :D

I'm surprised to see the figs already

Most kinds bear on new growth, and also bear very young. With our long growing season, some varieties will bear three times a year.

Mmmm, OK so I know 'Brown Turkey' is one of the big favorites. I'm really looking forward to trying it. Have you heard about the wasps? I heard rumors of wasps being inside because only a certain wasp can go in there to pollinate, then it dies and it could be filled with baby wasps. Is this true?

fig wasps are tiny and not like the stinging wasps which are the Vespa species.

Fig wasps are only about the size of a gnat, and the fruit normally digests them long before it is ripe. In addition, most modern figs don't need pollination to produce fruit, and the wasps are rare in most of the U.S.--probably non-existent in New York! :)

That's interesting. Nice Diagram Eileen. I'm glad I won't be eating any wasps.
