This is my Souadi Fig Tree.
I obtained it from a fellow forum member.
It is from Lebanon. Reportedly, the word " Souadi " means black in Arabic .
Interesting leaf pattern, good grower, with multiple clusters of figs.
The figs are of a medium to small size and are of a pleasing color.
At ripening, they start a brighish red, turning a deep royal Purple, then finally a dark purple/ blackish color.
The taste is different, not overly sweet like some figs, with more complex
earthy tones.
In some figs I have had, they have a " Gamey " " Woody Oak Barrel " taste.
I understand that may sound strange, but it's an accurate description.
Not a bad thing, just different from other figs I have tried.
If a fig was said to have an " Acquired Taste " this fig would be it.
