Well, it wasn't rhetorical, so much as I was sort of wondering whether there have been changes in the philosophy of fig care or something. I believe Dennis really liked them at the Wolfskill orchard at the time, but I think that was really kind of the only really positive review from around that time, so I had always had that variety as part of just another fig. Today, there are more people enthusiastic about how this fig tastes, I wasn't just talking about JD's review. Although, I have to say, were I just another fig hunter with lots of land to plant lots of figs, I'd probably still be dubious, because all decent fig (especially if not large) have their day in the sun, given enough a fortuitous series of event. BM and Smith and the like have their value because for the most part, things don't have to be too too perfect to get great fruit all the time, as opposed to Atreano or California Brown Turkey. Special different flavor would almost have to be Kid's Orange Red special just so, otherwise, you'd be chasing fig after fig after fig, and still wind up having to cull.
