I-258 from a tree I head started in a grow tent. I think Prosciutto is not far behind, but anything that didn't start in the grow tent is a month behind last year, so looking at mid to late September.

Does yours seem like it loves water more than others?
Mine looks like it stresses if I let it go to long at low water.
It has already dropped about 10 figs.
But no one is home from morning until late afternoon.
Sheesh I need my irrigation running.

Not sure about the OP, but my second leaf I-258 does tend to show a little heat stress in the leaves quicker than most of my other trees. Leaves tend to curl inward.

Both the trees I started in the tent have very dark green leaves and do not wilt at all. All the others will look very sad in the afternoon if I haven't watered, but these 2 do not .

I wonder if this is why mine likes being in the ground so much. I finally got one going in a pot this year and no matter how much I feed and water, it just doesn't produce the same. I'm looking forward to tasting an I-258 grown in container to assess any difference in taste
 
My first was Angelito, but it was a first year tree that had figs on the cutting for many months. I saw a softening Florea that I could have picked earlier today with a couple a few days behind. To me that is pretty impressive, less than 4 months from dormancy to first ripe main crop fig.
