Another great dark fig. This is my first Bryant Dark ever. I thought it had a nice rich, berry flavor. Not overly sweet. I gave it a 9. Going to be a keeper.

Hello Art-

Nice that you got to taste "Bryant Dark" figs.  I predict better days will be coming for your tree, as it ages. 

It's a good, solid, producer, and will set figs on green wood that's only one season old, so if it dies to the ground you might still get some figs off newly sprouted stems.  I just grew a 5 ft. tree from a sucker that started back in April-May-'14...and I had to pinch off all the figs.  The sucker started from the base of an older section of a rooted chuck of wood, and very quickly outgrew the original plant.  I separated, and potted up the rooted sucker and had to up-pot twice within a few months.  It now is planted in a 20 gallon nursery pot, and the tree at least 5 ft tall, and has a 1" +  diameter trunk.  It produced baby figs at every leaf node.  Next season I will be chowing down on some good figs.  Maybe some breba, also. Figs will be about the size of a "Black Mission" when the tree starts to settle down.

I love the apricoty-berry, flavor, with the slightly acidic, tongue-buzz at the finish.  It is one fig that I can eat until I get sick.  Just sweet enough, and not cloying, like some other figs.

Good luck with your trees.

Frank
