Anyone else like the look of dark figs with the white cracks? Looks way more appetizing than my Kadota with the ugly dark moldy looking spots. __________________ Steve in Alpine TX 7b/8a Wish list: Sangue Dolce, Siblawi, Victoria, Emalyn's Purple, Colonel Littman's Black Cross

That looks ripe. You should pick it. I find that the figs look better and better the more of them that I eat. Even the light ones with brown spots. __________________ Phil - Zone 7A - Newark, DE Newbie fig lover just trying to learn.

I love the look of cracked skin on a fig. Even though they are less attractive, the figs with the darks spots are usually sweet and delicious. Mike in Hanover, VA __________________ Zone-7, previously Mescalito

I'll pick it soon but being in my greenhouse there's no hurry. The variety is Sultane. It's been good but not quite up to St Rita or RDB. __________________ Steve in Alpine TX 7b/8a Wish list: Sangue Dolce, Siblawi, Victoria, Emalyn's Purple, Colonel Littman's Black Cross

Fignutty, Nice Sultane. I picked one up in September from Bill's Fig Fest here in NJ. It has one fig that I'm really hoping will swell and ripen before the cold really hits. Now I see what I have to look forward to -- YUM! Jim __________________ Clarksburg, NJ - Zone 6b Wishlist - A wise man recommended: Nero600M . Malta Black . Tacoma (Takoma) Violet . Gino's .
