UC Davis trip UCR 187-25

Good day, Here is another fig.  It's UCR 187-25.  Most forum friends have this fig.  I have it growing very well in my orchard.   It's  a very pretty fig, inside and out!  And the taste is amazing!  I'm glad I have this one!  Enjoy!

WOW look that interior color it is to die for.

That is a nice looking fig--I hope mine grows up to look (and taste) just as nice.

I have been matching these reviews up with Bass and JonV's comments.  I'd love a picture of the DFIC0169, since apparently that one did better this year than last year.  I'd also be interested if any of the figs did anything new under the sun.  We're already swimming in varieties.  

Hi Dennis.
Great looking fig, I had some cuttings of that fig but none rooted;  I will try again next year. 

Enjoy it!

HOW OLD IS YOUR UCR 187-25 ? IS THIS AS BIG AS THE FIGS GET? AND WHAT DOES THE TASTE COMPARE TO?
THANKS

My tree is around 4 or 5 years old. Two years ago, I cut it way down. I got mine growing in a very tight spot and my Atreano is trying to fringe over on it. But it's a good fig. It pretty much taste like GM#9. GM#9 is a Paradiso type which is a medium size fig, green exterior dark ruby red center, very sweet. UCR187-15 is smaller but excellent flavor and taste. I'll post pictures next year, but not here. It's just too much work for me.

found one hiding among others today while watering. i'm not sure if i tasted this one this yr or not. there was light fig that was rather good this fall, but didn't checked the label.

WOW. Could you please inform where to provide this fig by internet ordering?

moonrose, welcome to the forum. you can order this from USDA/UCD. do a search and you will find number of information on how to go about ordering from them.
