Figs picked today, Latarolla, LSU Gold, Dark Portuguese, Bisirri Dark, Bisirri Lightnot and VDB. Not a big impressive pile like some others, but enough to make me happy for the day

Hey its better than nothing.

Most (normal) people would be happy with that number of figs. :)

Which of these were your favorites?

You're lucky BLB, I wish I had more than 1 or 2 ripening! Oh well next year will be good. How does the Dark Portuguese compare to the VDB?

Howie, Dark Portuguese is a good tasting fig and a real workhorse, producing more than any of my trees in pots. VDB is a bit richer to my taste, maybe more berry. The best of the lot and the best so far this year is the Bisirri Lightnot, which is what I'm calling it until we can determine what it is as it was sold to me by Bisirri's as a light fig. As I noted above I also have the Bisirri dark which is what it was sold as. That one produces small dark figs that are very good indeed, probably equal to VDB in my view. I am very impressed with Latarolla for it's size and taste, but I think LSU when really ripe is a little bit sweeter. I am unable to rank them as others do, there were no bad ones or none that were markedly worse, differences in flavor were all enjoyable, just the one standout.

Looks great and way better than what I have now that Desert King season is over.  :)

My guess the little fig, dead center, that looks like it started to dry on the tree, had to be very rich and sweet taste. Thanks Barry

That little fig is the Bisirri Dark and was very good but the Bisirri Lightnot was better to my taste. Have you been able to reach Bisirri to schedule a visit? Or was it Ricci who was gonna call, I forgot.

It's me, my wife has been on vacation. Been very busy, will try to set up for next week.

No rush Luke take care of family first, the figs will be there.

I really like the one that looks like a raisin
