Hi all,
Find attached two pics of that delicious unknown fig.
This is the first fig from that tree . I give it a 10++++ /10 or a 14/10 ( I won't use 13 :) ) .
I was really surprise with the global consistency of that fig and with the thick strawberry jam taste of the inside - 6hat fig is really dense and heavy. The skin was soft and easy to eat.
Of all the figs in my garden, that one is so far the best.
I bought that tree in a sale in the streets for 8€ . The tree looked exhausted, dying (well by September / October I guess that they all look like that, ok ...), root bound, poorly watered and cared. I told that to the seller: "Her boss did not care well of those small things !"
But I decided to take a chance ... That was a really good idea !
The guy had a pic, and the fruit is true to the photo that I saw.
This tree is a quick grower from 30 cm to 1m60 now and one year of time !
Here after a comparison with my Dalmatie maincrop :
The last 3 days I covered that fig with a piece of my shirt that I sacrificed for the fig trees.
The fig had a split at the eye, and the eye is on the open side.
Well I'll have to taste more figs from that strain and if they are all that good, I'll be replacing some of the ufti strain with that strain - I'm chocked by how good that fig tasted - especially since the fruit looks like a big BT and we've been having lots of rain since 1st August.
The reference of lda is for the leave shape.
I'll update later with some pics from last year and this year.
