USDA / UC Davis pix No.7

The goal of this trip was to photograph as many of the cultivars as possible. Some were earlier season figs, and no longer available, and some later season figs, not yet ripe. However, the vast majority were available. Unless otherwise noted, these were of acceptable flavor, worth growing, but not necessarily exceptional.

Pied de Boeuf

This one was quite nice when tasted at USDA / UC Davis. First year fruits in San Diego have not been so great.







Black Ischia

This one has always been good, but was a poor grower at USDA / UC Davis, as well as in my collection.
