Well, my Kadota doesn't have a berry taste at all. It is juicy, figgy, crunchy, honey sweet. I bought mine at a nursery. My Verte, however is very berry sweet. Could be the difference in climates. Both mine are in ground. Another possible difference, but my Kadota is very yellow and roundish. The birds got one, I got one, and there are two unripe on the tree. First year tree. It has some time to go.
