The Adasi or edeisi is one of the best figs i believe. it has a deep flavour that i havnt tasted in alot of figs. the one in the photo is not ripe and i didnt take cuttings because i didnt like it but after i tasted a ripe version i took about 15 cuttings... more info in this pdf: http://scholar.najah.edu/sites/default/files/%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%AA%20%D9%85%D8%A8%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%B7_0.pdf __________________ Eli ,Israel ,Zone 10?

Thanks Most of the figs are underwatered and rely only on rain period which is very short , but they are planted in the below of a mountain so they will not get totaly dry. their taste is very intense : every fig is like a different wine. probably the intense heat from the sun is reflected back to the trees from the stony terrain and "cooks" the bottoms of the tree as the top. there are 3 black ones with red necks: Adriatic haruvi- small one - red inside and the taste is very deep-i realy dont know why its calles adriatic? Migdal Haemek- that one is like pure wine very heavy. MAT1- i dont know the origin. the taste isnot so good actually, but: when going back to taste some other varieites i tasted a "dry" version and than i unerstood that this fig is good for drying and has a very deep tone and smell. I wish i could give out more info so ill make a video of them this summer. __________________ Eli ,Israel ,Zone 10?

elin, we have no local figs anywhere! I have driven down many roads since we moved here. No fig trees! None!! You are lucky. None of my neighbors have figs. They give me that "you are crazy" look when I ask. I am the queen of figs on this mountain for sure! I make offers, but no takers. Weird, but it is what it is.

Suzi even here there are not alot of people who are into this. they buy figs in the market and thats it.. Here is a video about local Fig lovers looking for that special one of a kind fig. its in hebrew so sorry. http://www.mako.co.il/news-channel2/Channel-2-Newscast/Article-0fef3282602fa21004.htm In the video Danny yakir which is described in figsofisrael pdf is shown. he says when he started he got bitten with the hobby and made the biggest fig collection in the mideterenean. in the video they are touring one of a kind tree-the best here. the first fig they find is not good and danny says that the best fig should be purple so they continue looking for the best fig. than the guy says that loving a fig means caring for the tree and the soil. after few hours o searching they found the best one but they dont want to disclose the location ( even i dont know)... I think its KADITA (not kadota ) PURPLE Enjoy all. __________________ Eli ,Israel ,Zone 10?

would love some of those cuttings, but uncle sam keeps saying no until all the proper papers are signed and lamb and chicken has been offered along with some other voodoo stuff like lawyers and things. __________________ Pete Durham, NC Zone 7b "don't talk to me about naval tradition.

Suzi, I am surprised there are no figs in your neighborhood. Are you in central Ca? South Ca? __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a

So CA. I have driven every road in this town.... It's not the place you really want to be... It's an old town. Lots of rentals, but it spreads out. New developments. NO FIGS! We are not in the town. Not even in the city. We live high on a hill in county property, but still... NO FIGS! I look. I know a fig tree. Have never seen even one here. Cept for mine, and they are doing just fine!

Suzi, I've driven a lot between Monrovia and Santa Monica around LA. I think every 5th residential street has at least one fig tree over here. Are you further north? __________________ wish list: Violeta, Calderona. USDA z 10a, SoCal
