Way early to vote off the Island as plenty of time for another to disappoint, but of the 47 cultivars I have tasted this year, I think based on taste alone I would have to single out White Genoa. I think the only ones that had any taste at all were the soured ones. 1st year fruiting for me seems productive with large figs, but very little flavor. I guess fruiting alone would put her above others, as I probably would enjoyed it if she was fruiting in April and fig starved, but not right with rest of my mid-season figs.  I have tried her at all stages of ripeness and in  pretty water deprived at ripening but failed to impress. Interested to hear others comments on White Genoa and others that are receiving failing grades for you. I know Location, Location, Location can make all the difference 

    I just checked to see where you are and was surprised to see GA 7.   I"m GA 7-8 and White Genoa and Red Sicilian were by far my 2 best.  That's not saying very much, since all mine are yearlings,  We enjoyed Wht Genoas.  My perception of a good fig is probably not the same as yours because I've tasted so few varieties.   I may be in for amazing good surprises if Genoa is only a ho- hum at best. 

How would you describe the taste of your White Genoa. I struggle to because mine was very bland. Maybe It will improve. I am glad to hear yours was good. I think 4 folks tasted nobody really cared for it.

This is my second season harvesting white genoa. My fruit has been ripening during the last 7-10 days and the leaves are just starting to turn color. It is a very strong grower, it is the thickest trunk of all my collection. The fruit is neither the best nor the worst in my collection. It is not bland in my estimation, it does have a sweet, lightly berry taste. It does not wow me but it is better than almost any store bought fig at this time of year. I'll keep mine.
