First and only ripe fig from anticipated variety....alas, too ripe.
Guess the fig.

ok first guess
small black Ponte Tresa fig ;-))

My guess, CdDN

Well, how did it taste?

It looks like Preto or Black Madeira to me.

Frank is the winner.

It is a fig from the Island of Madeira unknown but suspected to be the ancestor of of UCD's BM --- free of FMV. 

Taste - rich, rich, rich but over-ripe. I was gone for a week and when I found it it was on the ground beginning to decompose.

Andreas is the winner of the  fantasy fig guess. :))

Did you eat it anyways?! :)

LOL, Frank, I am right there with you!!

Was it in a greenhouse? I cannot imagine a fig on the ground on my premises 

You're okay, Frank.  I knew I wasn't the only one.  I do occasionally take a bite and think "this isn't too bad...pretty good still" but after another bite or two decide it is actually pretty rotten and spit it out.  A man needs to know his limitations!

Igor, here in the open I still pick figs off the ground.  You either need to be trapping animals or growing a lot more figs so they leave some for you!

Looking great Frank! Hope you enjoyed your stay in Canada.

Thanks Rob. Toronto was great.
The PT cuttings are slowly getting there. How are yours doing?

Hi Frank,
2 out of 3 rooted so far.
Not bad as they have only been in the bin for just 3 weeks and i don't use a heating mat.
The Domaso's are a lot quicker and already leaved out and growing, but still i'm content with the progress.
