Thank you for taking the time and energy to provide such great pics and taste results. As a newbie, I want to concentrate my efforts on those figs that will produce as well as have great flavor. You have given me some ideas for my next tree. You have also provided proof that size is not always an important factor in a great fig! __________________ Now in South Florida (Pots) Current Stable of Figs: Chicago Hardy (Lowes), Lebanese Red (Harvey C), Makedonia Dark (Bass), Ronde de Bordeaux (KK), Kesariani (strudeldog), Marseilles VS Black and Figo Preto (pawpawbill) Wish List: Violette de Bordeaux, St. Rita, Bethlehem Black, Maltese Falcon, Black Beauty 10

@Navid - a score of 6+ for Maltese Falcon Breba. Go for small figs as they are big on flavor. @Leon - as a breba, better tasting than Maltese Falcon. A keeper for now. Has been a reliable producer. Thanks to everyone for the encouraging comments. The summer has been great for figs here.
