I obtained a Lebanese Red cutting in February from a generous forum member. It started out to be a slow grower with some fmv but then took off in the middle of the summer. I left two figs on and one of them ripened yesterday. I was quite impressed with the flavor for a first year fig. It tasted a lot like the 2nd year Mt. Etna types I've been eating (Sal'sEL, Takoma Violet, MvsB) except that it was a bit sweeter. I'm definitely looking forward to what next year will bring for this variety.
