Mike, I've got a young one myself. Mine came from John McMillian at Almost Eden. When I received it last June it was less than a year old and about 1 foot tall. It had a fig on it that grew quite large looking like it would ripen but it didn't. It's growing well this year but no signs of figs yet. Sorry I couldn't help with the taste test. I like you will have to wait.

I have a tree and I like the figs. On tree ripen sweetness brix test in Hawaii by Ken Love, it is rated among the highest at 25 -- even higher than LSU Gold, Excel, Black Ischia and equal Flanders. It is a reliable variant here in B.Columbia where I can count on to give me the figs. Hence it got a spot in the ground.

Ive had problems with it. Both my plants died. I had one start from a cutting last year and it was doing well and then all of the sudden-dead.

mine seems to be doing well, it's sure growing prolifically. the question, of course, is whether i'll get any decent figs off it.
