Negronne and 160-50

 I discovered the Negronne while watering today.  I hadn't noticed them before.  They were well hidden.  They were perfectly ripe and very sweet.  I would say they were the best two figs I've had this year.  If I could only have one variety for my area it would be this EL Negronne.  I'm going to start air layering this so I have a couple more trees.  The 160-50 is a two year old tree about three feet tall.  I liked it and its hard to describe the flavor.  There was something unique about the flavor that was hard to pinpoint.  I also have another video with me sampling some different varieties.

Thats the way to pick negronne.  If you let it wait as long as you did, it's a phenomenal fig.  Nice job.

I agree about the EL Negronne.  If it is allowed to fully ripen, the flavor is really rich.

Good video, you made my mouth water.  I was surprised the LSU Gold was not good, maybe wait longer for it to ripen?

The LSUG was a suprise to me too.  I had one a couple of days before and it was OK.  My mind was saying this is going to be good and it took a second for my taste buds to override my initial thoughts.  It was ripe.  It just fell into my hand when I touched it in the video.  Others are exploding like popcorn with the rain we're having right now.
