I don't know why Florea has a bad rap. I think it tasted like pure honey. This was the first fig that I've tasted that had a honey flavor. This was a main crop.
It is the small fig in the picture. The two big figs are from an unknown. I probably picked them a little early. Nothing special, just sweet. They are breba.

 Florea is awesome in my zone. It definitely sounds like you were satisfied. I have one FLOREA. And so far it has been the most vigorous here in Idaho. I look forward trying the fruits.

yum

Thanks for sharing the pics and info on these Art. I didn't realize that Florea was that small , but tasted so good ! Honey's good ! 

Jen, I was surprised w/ the taste. Glad to have it now.

Pat, It was on a first year tree. Maybe it will get bigger.

Sounds promising Art. 
Love to hear what you think about the fruit too Jen . Keep us updated please.

Hi Art and Jenny,

Do you guys grow your Florea in ground?  If so, do you wrap it or let it get full winter treatment?

I just got it this year and will test it's hardiness in a zone 5 protected spot after it gets several years older, but would love to know what other's have put it through.

Thanks

Greg, I'm going to wrap it. Maybe in a couple years I will test it's cold hardiness.

Art, looks like you are having a good year so far, good luck with your other trees.
Thanks for the pic.

My tree is young, so Florea will be in a 5 gallon self watering container until she achieves two feet of hard wood. Then straight into the ground. Winterized of course. Idaho gets REALLY effin' cold, like -5° to -9°F

Jennifer, I was just next door in Boise for a few days and didn't see any fig trees in people's yards though I saw a lot of other fruit.  I guess if more people knew about cold hardy varieties like Florea there would be more.

While I really expected larger it sure sounds like it was good.   So I have one and can't wait to try it.

goss

Wow Art your trees are doing good. My Florea doesn't have a single fig. Maybe next year.

Art, This is a nice fig. Keep caring it and in a couple of years you will see the difference
Climate does not help but you know how to cope with it
Good luck

ART,
I can send you Maltese Falcon cuttings in the Fall.Ciao,
Giuseppe

Giuseppe, Thanks so much!

hi kubota1,
Ain't florea supposed to be the same as Brunswick ?
If so, I would rather say that the big figs are florea and the small fig is a mount etna.
I have "Dorée (french)" and this one is for now closely acting like a brunswick too...
So those big figs, I can recognize them.
