Here are a few figs picked before the rain Sal's Gene, Gino's, Longue D'Aout, and Atreano. All were delicious. Attached Images photo_1.JPG (125.96 KB, 46 views) photo_2.JPG (109.79 KB, 44 views) __________________ Jason V Egg Harbor Twp., NJ/ Zone 7 Wishlist: Nothing.

Jason, Was the Longue D'Aout fully ripe? If so, what did you think about it? I think this fig is awesome!

They look great Jason. I grow 3 of the 4 above, but haven't tasted any yet. Did you prefer one over the other?

Rafed, it was very good for the amount of rain we had recently. A definite winner! I thought Atreanos were big but LDAs are HUGE. __________________ Jason V Egg Harbor Twp., NJ/ Zone 7 Wishlist: Nothing.

Barry- it was my first year with all but Atreano which is a great white fig. Sal's Gene was like HC. Gino's also similiar but tasted slightly different to me also more productive. LDA was my favorite of this batch. 1 LDA 2 Atreano 3 Gino's 4 Sals __________________ Jason V Egg Harbor Twp., NJ/ Zone 7 Wishlist: Nothing.

Thanks, Jason. LDA seems to edge out a lot. My tree is still very young. I also have a young Atreano and Gino's. I think I'll get a taste next year, maybe all 3

You will. They all grow like weeds. I don't think you'll miss not having a Sals Gene if you have a HC of some sort. __________________ Jason V Egg Harbor Twp., NJ/ Zone 7 Wishlist: Nothing.
