No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Harvest Bexar Beauty figs when they reach their full size and show color change typical of ripe fruit. Figs should yield slightly to gentle pressure when ready. Pick fruits in the morning after dew has dried for best flavor. The small to medium size and early season timing mean you'll be harvesting earlier in the season than with later-ripening varieties.

“Eric obtained this particular fig variety from a contact located in Georgia, introducing it into broader horticultural evaluation. The cultivar's background remains largely undocumented in available literature, but its journey reflects the informal networks through which home gardeners and regional experts preserve and share plant varieties. Currently, it continues to be evaluated by Rigo during trials conducted in the South Florida region, gradually building a record of performance data that may eventually illuminate its origins and parentage.”
