Nero600m UPDATED 11-5-13

The first one to ripen and it definitely needs more time. Didn't have a lot of flavor but was very similar to VDB. About a 6 for now.



Thanks for the pictures Mike i had heard they were similar in taste.

Looks really nice. I got a young Nero 600 at our NJ Fig Fest (Thanks Tim) and I am excited with its prospects in the future

This is the second one to ripen this season thanks to the fig shuffle. This one is much better than the first with a fairly sweet berry taste.
The skin was not tough as I thought it would be this late and it also had a sweetness to it. I would give this one an 8 and say it
has a lot of potential here in the deep south.



I just put mine in the ground this morning:) 

Mine will get a permanent home in the spring.

You will love it.
Violette de Bordeaux is a good  cultivar but it does not shine when get ripe in rain.
This will,even in the rain,and that is very important.

Hopefully I can score one off of ebay.
