figs have a way to go.

Birds etc seem to like them.

Not one of my favorites. I am partial to "Pink Ladies"!

I think they used to make cider from apples, but not recently; probably made other apple products too.
They have triplets, now around 24, so not around here often enough to make harvests worthwhile.
