Mat, as far as I can tell, the true Danny's Delight is a dark fig. It is one of my all around best cold hardy main crop figs. I would not want to be without it.
At my location in Connecticut, I would describe it as a better version of Hardy Chicago. Same flavor profile. But, a much more stronger flavor. Produces heavier crops. Ripens earlier, and appears to be more cold hardy.
2013, was another overly wet, and cool spring and summer. To much rain, and not enough sun. But, our Danny's Delight still produced a big crop of sweet, great tasting figs.
Desert King took around 3 to 4 years to start producing breba figs for me(2 figs this year). I have been growing it in a pot. I keep it to use as a standard for comparing to other breba producers. Desert King is a great breba producing fig. But, I have been testing for a more cold hardy version of a Desert King. Because in New England, we not only have cold winters, we can also have cool wet spring/summers. So, we also need breba producing figs. Figs that will ripen in July and August, when we have the most heat.
