Doe anyone know of a list of figs that is sorted by their main crop ripening date?
Here in Palo Alto, CA, clearly late figs like Panache are less likely to set fruit and ripen. Others in my area say the same of the Col de Dame figs.
My limited experience leads me to recommend Lampiera as a good tasting fig that will produce a decent main crop by September. Condit's Jurupa as almost as good and as reliable.
(I've not tried oleification; does it alter the flavor of the figs that ripen more rapidly?)
I have limited space. I've mastered grafting and want to rework an established Osborne's Prolific to produce good tasting figs that will ripen here. This year I also realized that it is a quicker way to check out seedlings that pop up from time to time.
A list that characterizes figs as early, mid-season, and late would be a big help.
thanks,
