These are my other figs (see previous post). They are humongous dark purple figs, they ripen about a month later than the other figs, normally late September, now mid-October. The leaves are also HUMONGOUS (I didn't realise until I took one to shoot). Their skin is more leathery and less soft, the flavor is very mild (this year almost non-present, too much rain, not enough sun).

I am located in the South-West of France about an hour from Bordeaux land inwards. The previous home-owner planted these, she was from Scotland but also lived in China and Spain so ehr... could be from anywhere.

Added a 50 euro cent coin to give an idea of the size.
