Steve: Negretta and Chris Black are from Al in Bethesday. I have Smith, Violette de Bordeaux (Negronne) and Brown Turkey. Al told me that Chris Black is very good. Last week, I tasted 2 good and sweet Chris Black figs at his house. However, this morning I stopped by his house and asked him to give me one for the photo. I looked around his tree and asked him for the fig that I photographed. However, as soon as my fingers touched that fig, it fell on the ground. This could be a reason caused the one I got did not taste good. Currently I do not have cuttings of Negretta and Chris Black yet. I had asked him a few times for these cuttings, but he said NO. Recently, he said maybe in this fall he will sell me these cuttings.
Best,
Tam
