--- Raspberry El Molino Unk. fig (PIX) == Patlican

Drew, I agree. Some unknowns are really great finds.

And I have to remind myself that all Figs were unknown to us once! They use us well these savy trees!

Yes, Pt Loma Unknown also looks very interesting. Next winter I have to ask Greenfig  about cuttings to this one! I would really like to try it.

I think you need a Turkish guy to give information about Patlican fig .I am Turkish :) so will let you know about this unknown fig soon...

Here is mine, THANKS IGOR.  Its looking healthy in that 10 gallon pot. El Molino2.jpg  El Molino1.jpg 


Wow!
Please update when the figs are ripe!

Igor, keep meaning to tell you the El Molino I started last year is now about 4' tall and pushing out all sorts of figs.  Have a while to go till they are ripe but really looking forward to tasting them.

My El Molino has one very nice fig. I cant wait to taste it! Thanks, Igor.

I've managed to eat several El Molinos from the tree rooted from cuttings last year, now 5' tall. Delicious! Sweet, berry flavored with a nice acid balance. They're sweeter than my Baba raspberries and not quite as acid. In appearance they looked the same as a Lebanese Red that was ripe, but the LR was a touch dryer and sweeter with no acid at all.
All my figs in the front yard are getting cooked in the heat wave. It's sometimes hard to tell if they're ripe or if they're burnt.

I kind of love the taste of raspberries.  If anyone has cuttings available, now or later, please p.m. me.

Thanks

Igor, here is a pic of mine that I started on January 14, 2016. The tallest one on
the left is 3 feet 5 inches. No figlets as of yet. Glad to hear it doesnt need
the wasp. We will see next year about the fruit. Thanks again for the cuttings.
