Varieties with 100g+ fruit

Ben, curious why you have excel in parenthesis next to Jurupa?

These giant dalmatie are huge and very sweet.

Don't know how they would do in S.E. Asia or locations with heavy rain during harvest time though.

Not quite sure, it's been a couple yrs. I believe I may have seen some information where those 2 could be the same fig.

Just curious Ben, they are different.

I'm a fan of the 100+ club, too.  Wish there was more room to grow them.

Nice list Ben.  Going to add this to my notes.  Maybe I'll start collecting the big ones.  :)

Here's another one.  It's a local favorite here for many, many years.  The owner simply calls it 'Calabria', after the region where he is from.  He brought a tree here more than 40 years ago and planted it in his yard where it is today.  Never winter protected.  Had some dieback in 2014 but came right back.  He regularly picks main crop figs in the 100g-150g range and a few that come close to 200g.  It's a delicious fig and I'm glad to have it in my collection.  This 103g fig came off my 1 year old Calabria last year.  Very impressive for a tree that young.

Hi Danny.
I would like to workout a trade for the Calabria fig if possible?

The “Giant Black Bursa” is one I’ve read good things about. It weighs in at 90-120 grams and is supposed to have the same delicious flavor as the famous Black Bursa fig from Turkey. The claim here with pictures is 235 gr.:

I was watching a cooking show on an Internet Indian TV channel and the cooks went shopping at a market in Bulgaria (I think). There were large apple sized figs there for sale that looked just like the ones in the pictures posted on this forum. 
This variety hasn’t been officially imported into the US yet but is sold privately and on eBay, which is closely monitored by "Big Brother", the US Agriculture police.   

On eBay only seeds of Bursa fig currently. Has somebody ever bought Giant Bursa cuttings on eBay?

The Russkiy Soldat.... Is it common or smyrna?

Conadria gets pretty big

" Is it common or smyrna?" . I'm going to find a group in the summer of 2016.

I bought some other cuttings from Turkey on eBay last year but I couldn't get them to root. The cuttings arrived after a week or two and appeared very healthy. I think the rooting hormone I was using had gone bad. Everything I used it on after a certain date refused to root. 
Around ten months later I got a phone call from the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection service. They had a record of all the cuttings I had bought on eBay from outside the US over the last year- which were only a few. I assured the woman that none of the cuttings had rooted and I had thrown them away. It was during the period that the rooting hormone was bad. She was very polite and assumed I didn't know the import laws. She sent me an email with links to a manual on import laws and insisted I never do this again. 
I still worry that there's a chance that they might raid my home. Big Brother is always watching. 

This is my #2 UNK 212grams almost half pound

Thanks for sharing that. I thought I was the only one. 
Not only does eBay have spammers that sell bogus trees and cuttings, it enables the selling of illegal trees and cuttings, then gives out our personal information to the government to pursue us. At least it seems the government "educates" us first before prosecuting us if we do it again.
