What is your assessment of the taste compared to the richness and sweetness of the others? For example-HC, Sal's, VdB, RdB, and others.

My personal assessment "in my climate only" growing these in containers.

Hc -is the richest tasting with nice balance of not overpowering sweetness out of the group mention here.
Sals - is sweet with secondary richness notes almost opposite of above.
Ronde and Vdb in different catagory with more of berry taste and then the sweet notes that follow.
Negretta -  juicy and sweet with very faint notes of richness. This season this plant is coming into its own as it get another season under its limbs .
As a note its limbs was not pruned and put on a nice size crop as shown in other pictures that are ripening.

Nice notes-Thanks- Negretta is one of those to get because of its rarity ( Along with the Jolly Tiger).


One day when I can't control my impulses. Maybe! Or when the wife isn't looking at the ebay invoices! :-)

Martin....that plate of figs looks wonderful, and tasty.   Makes me want to jump in my car and drive north to come visit you!   I cannot wait until next year when I hopefully will have a Negretta of my own.  It will be quite coveted.
