DiRedo pics

OK, not much to look at, but looks can be deceiving.  Fig was sweet and juicy with a very slight seed crunch.  Texture was creamy, almost melts in your mouth.  Good resistance to rain and has a nice closed eye.  I had trouble coming up with a flavor description for this one, not that it was bad, I just couldn't place the flavor profile.

Excellent, I have this fig rooting.
Thanks for the review.

Looks great, we all know that best figs are the ugliest looking hehehe

In my yard it wasn't great, thick skin but in my friends greenhouse it produces lots of great figs, I think this one needs the extra heat which you guys have in texas that I don't quite have here in Canada.

Chivas,

DiRedo is a lot like Salce in that I find it needs the least water of all my fig trees.  You are probably right, it likes hot and dry climates.

This was named for a fellow who worked with Ira Condit, by the name of Joe DiRedo, whoj still lives in the Central Valley of CA.
