Hi,
Ice crystal is cold hardy. It is a late cropper so no problems with late frosts... BUT IT NEEDS THE FIG WASP !
Mine is a slow grower, meaning that the wood is strong and hardens quickly.
Mine popped some 15 figs, kept 5 - 10 yellowed and dried out - bloody wasp, where are you when you're needed... 3 figs are still waiting for Santa Claus I guess...Let me check that today... I'm on my way ...
The two figs that I had, looked like cherries inside, even on the taste - that was my impression at least.
The meat was sort of solid instead of being lots of branches tied together. The seeds were hung in the flesh instead of hanging on the small white branches.
Curious, but still good.
