Hi, Here we go, my only sultane breba (dark outside ) for this year - the browns are BTs. The tree was bought as a potted tree last Fall, so still a good result . I was lucky, as the fig fell to the floor from ripeness, but was not damaged . As usually, that fig was the best tasting I got from my garden - small but tasty ! Help! help! ... Hey, calm down, the others are just brownturkeys - BT . I'll open another post later for my BT - a real workhorse ! __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

I think there should be a rule that if someone posts photos of a beautiful fig, a taste profile must accompany it. Should include, crunch level, sweetness level, richness level, juiciness level, skin thick or thin, and flavor resemblance to berry, melon, squash, cabernet...

Hi, Hard for me to describe - just the best fig I have ever had in my garden : The taste was juicy, sweet, no crunch, skin is fine , the middle of the fig has a strong honey taste. The taste does last in the mouth - a good sweet and figy taste - no sour or watery after-taste. __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

Suzi I totally agree with you but cabernet taste? What exactly do you wash those figs down with? ..LOL __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.
