Hi everyone, just curious what variety you have been most disappointed with and is up for elimination if it does not perform better this year.                      

 Take care
  Pete

Since I don't have BT, I'm fine for now :)

I have two.  My BT and Persian White.

dang.. the picture of persian white looked so good.. i might have to think again.

Pete,

Maybe the Persian White doesn't do good where Dave is? Or maybe it doesn't fit his taste buds?

None of my business but I would take this opportunity to ask for the plant or cuttings and give it a shot.
But offer him something too.

Don't get discouraged dude.

Number 2 and number 6 container on my patio. 
Hmm maybe i should put those next to the gate for you know. ; )

Martin,

Hmmm

Just messing with you Pete.  My two brown turkeys are stayin put and I don't have a Persion White.   Sorry.  Couldn't help myself.  :-)

  

This is an interesting topic though.   Looking forward to people's responses...

Dave,

You pulled a fast one on me too.
Ten fig whip whips to the bottom of each foot.

Martin,
 what variety is number 2 & 6 ?

PHD,

Martin is trying to pull my chain.
He's learning from you know who down in San Diego.

check out the picture bass has on his site. it's just amazing looking fig. i'm sure martin won't approve.

None. They will all be joining the Figs 4 Fun Foundation.

I have a seven+ year old (3 years in a container and 4 years in the ground).  It has never grown a fig.  It was on the block to be cut out at the end of the year.  Today I realized it is a nice vigorous grower so I decided instead of chopping it, use it for grafting fodder.

Martin, what day is your garbage day? I think I will pass by looking for #2 & 6.
No fig tree should go to the compost pile. See you take all the figs you have, any color or taste and you make one heck of a fig preserve jam. Sounds good on paper. LOL :)

Frank Wed morning about 7am.
I wait to see what happens later this season and make up my mind if i give 1 more season.

LOL, I think it's a great question, but if people aren't yet sure about a fig, they may not really want to say lest they get too many requests for it.

BT went bye-bye this year and Italian Honey is soon to follow.  I'll probably trade the IH with someone local instead of trashing it, though.  If anyone local to me has something good to trade for IH, lemme know.  

I had been planning to nuke my very prolific "Improved" Brown Turkey (which tastes delicious, by the way) because for the past few years the fruit has been soured by beetles. This year, however, it's ripening fruit and the beetles haven't appeared yet, so I've given it a temporary stay of execution. I also plan to toss a Giant Amber (prone to souring in my yard), a DIFIC0164-1 that I ordered by mistake from UCD back in 2010 (I read the wrong line on the order form), and a UCR 143-38 (although I'm second guessing because it continues to ripen quite a lot of decent fruit, despite being completely neglected. Who knows what it might do if I started taking care of it?

So far my LSU purple has not been good. There must be more than 1 strain of this fig and I have the bad one. I think I will cut it down this fall and plant Figo
Preta. I have only had one small fig off of my tree, but wow it was good yea!

I have an unknown that didn't have anything last year and so far not one fig this year, breba or main crop. Not sure yet whether to keep it one more year and go through the bother of covering it up for winter again. If I do keep it and nothing grows on it next year than it will definitely be a goner. Can't have none producers taking up valuable space.

I have a black Mission that was doing good but froze off to the ground last year. it emerged full of FMV It is going to the fire barrel just as soon as I have found a suitable replacement. Might go with a Chicago Hardy I have a few in 1 gal pots.....

Marty,

You may regret chopping up your LSU Purple. It is notorious for tasting bland the first couple years then everyone who sticks with it raves about it.  Your in zone 9 too which should be ideal for it.

I had an lsu purple when we lived in Houston and i loved it.  I dont know if it would ever get ripe here outside of a greenhouse.

BT- Not really anything special
Italian Honey/Laturulla- no real fig taste
Texas Everbearing-BT variant
Tashkent- no figs to taste but Bad case of FMV
