So far, I only have Madeleine dds outside(picture 2 and 3) and that's in a pot. Next year it will be planted outside, this year was actually a test to find out how they taste. My tasting team, that's my sons, and I like it very much.
It develops big fruit with a nice and sweet taste, only setback is that it drops about 50% of the fruit.
The Negronne (picture 4) is yet too small, so that one will need at least one more year in my greenhouse before I can plant it outside. The fruit on it was already outstanding, after just one year.
I have a kind of verte I believe it is, in a very big pot and also in the greenhouse. Very consistent, but too sweet for my taste. I keep it anyway for the time being, because it will give me fruit starting first of August, throughout mid September, weather permitting.
Cendrosa (First picture)is another one I keep in the greenhouse. Very good fig but extremely late and it needs sun to ripen. It only started ripening the fruit this week, but weather permitting it will continue until November, gradually degrading the quality of its fruit.
The BT from a neighbor which I took samples of last winter, has already produced this year and will be transplanted in ground this winter. I am especially interested in its breba, which are huge and early, this year as early as mid July I could tell from my neighbors tree.
I also have a Noire de Barbentane since last year, off course that one will stay in the greenhouse. It gave me a first ripe fig last week. The best fig I ever ate! Hope this will work for the future.
