I picked a little early, need more time, 1 to3 days. It was a little sweet, all jam like. The skin on the bottom could be eaten, the top for get about it, to thick. Do not know if it is a keeper yet!!

I must say Kadotas are great for canning whole. The skin holds their shape and texture nicely. Open a jar of whole Kadotas during winter and dream of next summer's figs, and you'll see what I mean.

SoniSoni That sounds good. How do you go about canning Kadota figs?

Mine haven't started to swell yet hopefully soon. I have not eaten any of them yet. If they are not good maybe I can try canning them and try that.

This year Kadota is one of my best yellow figs, behind Peter's Honey. I won't say the skin is tough, I call it tight! It does have a very strong honey flavor. I gave some to my friend, Irene and she loves them!

I do like the texture of the skin. And the syrup quality of the honey inside. Just wish the flavor wasn't so blah.

I guess it depends on the tree and the factors sun water and soil......Have been getting some real good and sweet Kadotas....

The first year my Kadota fruited was a hot dry summer and the figs were excellent and full of flavor not just sweetness .

Kadota has been wonderfully honey sweet this year. This is my hubby's favorite this year.

Art , it looks like my Kadota. Mine did not hang when fully ripe and there is no neck and has the clusters and drop of honey at the eye. I had to cut the ripe ones off with nippers . The skin was tougher than Sal's C for sure . The only inedible, tough part we found was at the "neck". Inside more than made up for the thicker skin as it was very creamy, sweet and honey tasting. ツ

Pat, Did you let it get really soft? I'm wondering if I should pick one of these. I don't think this variety will shrivel up.

They look about right now. I let a few "sugar spots " form and then cut them off . I have them in bags to keep the ants off! I don't think they will shrivel either with that skin. I didn't mind the taste of the skin either, it's not sweet and countered that real honey sweet of the pulp for me.

Oh that really looks fantastic !! Did the skin bother you in any way? We found at that ripeness the skin was not an issue. My hubby loves honey sweetness and this was by far his fave! Of course our ripe fig varieties are limited . I think he just likes the really sweet taste ! And that's not bad !

Pat, We're the same way. Limited on the figs that we have tried. It was just nice to have a different taste.

That looks a heckofalot like the figs from the "dwarf" fig tree I bought from a nursery catalog several years ago. We've been picking them for after dinner treats since it is in a pot right next to the picnic table on our deck. I just had one after finishing off my wife's home made piazza with fresh tomatoes and Basil from the garden. Talk about paradise!
