This one ripened this morning in the high tunnel on a first year tree and had a thick texture with strawberry notes. Definitely has potential for southern climates too.

Very nice. I have noticed that it’s prone to the sugar spots as it matures. Not that this is really a con….. just an observation

I like seeing the sugar spots as it's a great visual indicator of ripeness.

I hope the raccoons don’t figure that one out

This will be my first tasting experience with Vince#3 fig . I have heard good things about it and seen some finger licking good pictures .
This is from a cutting that I rooted in November. The tree is just over a foot high and is bearing 5 figs at the moment. I have high hopes but being realistic that the tree being very young will not show its full potential .

It's pretty outstanding... and earlier than any other I've grown.

Finally did taste a Vice#3 albeit not intentionally. I knocked accidentally the fig out of the tree while putting an organza bag on it.
The fig was juicy and had a light strawberry taste. My wife said she could smell a hint of banana ( I didn’t).It had a light seed crunch and the skin was very delicate. Considering the young age of the tree at about 6 months old it was pretty good . It still has 4 figs on it
and can’t wait to see if the flavour will be different as the temperature are getting warmer.

First Vince #3 breba harvested this morning as the ants were starting to gnaw on it. Delicious sweet caramel flavor with a creamy texture.

Looks delicious. My wife would probably love that one if caramel flavor.

Such a hideous, yet beautiful fig!
If I tried giving that to family or friends, they’d probably decline - great, little do they know.
