Year after year, my Alma twins produce too many figs for one family to handle. This summer, I had to put out an SOS on this forum for some relief.

only have 3 trees that's old enough to produce. out of that VdB was it as far as producing anything in number. during the summer, i think i had about 20 figs off the tree. avg about 1-2  a day. tasted great.

paradiso gene just started ripening. so far i had two. tastes some what like VdB, but i think i didn't wait long enough for it to full ripe and give better taste.

Our most productive fig is the unknown we found.  It is a variety of a modern hybrid.  It has a tightly closed eye, produces the main crop early (mid July in Zone 7b), and very heavy for several weeks.  Then more lightly for another month or so.  It has a decent breba crop too.  The flavor is very good.  Not Chicago Hardy good, but very good, especially for a white fig.  For us it is definately a winner, one of the best we have.

To end the confusion, we now consistently call it Georgia White Hybrid.

GF, that is one delicious looking fig. It has that sweet, melt in your mouth look to it. Reminds me of my Cajun Gold. I can almost taste it now. Thanks for posting.
