I started the cutting two years ago its a strong grower but few figs and the taste sweet and juicy but ive had better green figs, no sweet black ones yet this season.

I haven't tasted this one but my Italian fig guru in Sydney says it's the most ordinary fig he has ever tried. I think any ripe fig is better than none at all but I probably will not make room in my garden for a Preston.

Im with u on that one im keeping it in the pot cause ive had worse, but the one i most like is this green fig that ripens early nearly ever one in Sydney has one Bass calls it ozzie gold have u ever tried it.its perfect for Sydney cause it ripens before the rain kicks in.

BexleyRabbit it wasnt the best fig ive tasted but i must say better by far than The famous Black Genoa,Brown Turkey that nearly ever fig grower grows,skin is very bitter and leaves a tang in the mouth.In Sydney ive tasted ten times better dark figs but people that never taste figs always say the Black Genoa is the best tasting fig,thats why i love growing figs always trying too get that perfect fig taste which will be soon i hope.
