I also posted this at GW FF, so anyone who posts at either place don't bother posting to both threads.

I have a Ventura tree (from JF&E in Florida) which has made some main crop figs.  I'd like to hear from anyone who has this fig. 

The descriptions at figs4fun don't match the pictures (from the Richard Watts collection), and I was hoping to avoid more "fig confusion" if possible.  I'm really hoping to find someone who has the same cultivar I have.

Anyway, any information on this fig would be great.  Thanks.

Have a Ventura (2007.JustFruits&Exotics, FL); I think it did produce some fruit,
but my memory is not that exact, sorry!?!.  Just wait other year...

George,

Thanks for posting.  I guess you and I are the only ones (who have visited here recently) who have this fig.  Maybe somebody who's been growing it for a while will stop by soon.  I should definitely have a few figs to sample this year.

Henry,

I have Ventura which I got from Jerry Black, Oregon Exotics, many years ago. At that time it was operated as a retail nursery, but is no longer in business. The fruit is med. large to large, greenish skin, red rich flesh and a flat type fig. The tree is very small, sort of a natural dwarf and has very good hardiness.

Hi Jack,

Thanks for posting.  I hope my Ventura is the same as yours.  Yours sounds like a good fig.  George and I got ours from Just Fruits & Exotics, in Florida.  It looks like I will have a few figs this year.  I look forward to comparing them with your figs.
