In my front yard, I have a tree full that are almost ripe if the squirrels would stop stealing them. This years batch looks much better than the past few. The tree is about 11 years old, planted it myself.

Oh awesome! Love that you planted it yourself and have got to watch it grow. Our neighbor planted a fig tree and the squirrels have been ravenous for them so I understand what you mean lol. I think the blue jays are getting at my purple berry bush too (can't remember the name of it). Hopefully it'll come back!

We planted two brown turkey figs at the same time as the persimmons. We got awesome harvests the first year or two but the squirrels discovered them and now they belong exclusively to the squirrels. We find half eaten figs all over the yard and in our oak tree.
