Martin, see post on "what is your favourite fig to eat", dated 11th May 2010. Maybe this White Greek fig will be the dynamite one for you. This is my 3rd attempt growing this variant. First 2 tries kaput. I am trialing it to see whether it will blow me away. LOL.

Dan, in post #19 you're very enthused about Col de Dame White. Are you comparing it to all of your figs, or just the white ones?

I was comparing Col De Dame's "taste only" (not its overall performance) to all of my figs......black and white/yellow/green.  I am not yet ready to rate Col De Dame on its overall performance.

FYI; since that post was written,  I have discovered a local unknown heirloom fig that tastes even better than Col De Dame. It is an absolute superb, very rich and complex tasting fig "that does perform well" in my rainy area.  And it does not have FMV. Col De Dame from UCD will have FMV.....but, it is an excellent tasting and rain tolerant fig from what I have seen.  IMO, it is still under trial....because it sure does taste good and I will continue to grow this fig for many more years. I need more data in regards to its productivity. I like the fact that it ripens late when other figs have stopped producing.

Now my new fig discovery is an "early" season fig while Col De Dame is a "late fall" ripening fig. I call this new fig... Black Beauty 10. It is hands down the best tasting fig I have ever eaten.....and I have eaten a lot of different varieties figs from many many trees in South Louisiana.

Even blind folded Martin would love the taste of Col De Dame White. It is a well respected and much appreciated fig in other countries for good reason. Most figs have one, two, and sometimes three "musical flavor notes" going on and dancing in your mouth/tongue/palate. Col De Dame is like having a 10 piece band playing those nice flavor note. However,  BB10 is like having the the whole Philharmonic Orchestra playing those flavor notes on your tongue and palate. It is fairly easy to describe a single flavor note or two.......however, it is more difficult to try to describe flavor notes coming from a large band and much more difficult when it is coming from a whole orchestra.

Dan your description of Black Beauty 10 has led me to a magical place in head imagening these wonderfull flavours then the darn work phone rang and desturbed my thoughts. Now you got me Feenin like a crack head for Black Beauty 10.

It is a really good tasting fig and some cuttings will be going out on ebay in the fall when mom goes dormant. It took me YEARS and many miles on my truck to find her.

BB10 is on my wish list.....if I had to prioritize, I think it would be way at the top!!    I am glad to see that Joe Morle's White Triana was mentioned because I got on in the mail today.  WOO HOO.   But wow, the CDD-any color-in my mind, sounds fabulous.   What it is about figs that has us all hooked??  Big sigh.

No one that I know of has ever posted about it except for Dan_la and he is no longer a member of this forum.  I wouldn't hold my breath for this variety to ever be introduced to the community.

Thank you
