Day 243: Several of the figs have increased in size by double or more since a week ago today. Yes, I do think I will have fresh figs to enjoy later on this year, unless a squirrel or raccoon finds them (and I haven't seen either varmint in some time). Desert King is a green fig, and at full size, a single fruit would fit snugly in a standard coffee mug. Juicy and sweet when picked sun-warm from the tree, they are absolutely delicious. The tree can be kept pruned back to a height which makes it easy to harvest. Mine is currently about 5' high, and I plan to let it grow another foot or so.
