Today I picked my first caprifig, Enderud and ate it. The yellow fig, medium size with a very long neck had a very good taste,  slightly canteloupe and pepper!!! I got the tree from UCD a few years back and it was just one of the many (wait & see)potted figs I have.  This year, it had 4 figs on it with no sign yet of a second crop.  I will keep it just for the unique taste and that it is an edible caprifig.  I recommend it.

Great info.  Thanks.  Maybe you can get a heated greenhouse to overwinter your caprifigs in and keep some wasps alive.  You'd have the best figs East of California.  Dennis should do this, too.

Didn't know you could eat a caprifig.  They don't taste horrible?

Bob, if I could , I would. Too bad them wasps like hot weather most of the time. I have a Zidi and Nazarti trees that are trying to make friends with Enderud.
Arabic student, in the varieties section of the figs4fun website, Enderud or UCR 228-20 is listed as an edible caprifig with a very good flavor and I agree for sure. Hope it can stand zone 7 winters in
ground here protected
because when it is least expected, farenheit temperatures can
go into single digits or lower. :-((

Sirlampsalot,

E-mail the photo from your iPhone to your desktop/laptop.  Open e-mail and save to your hard drive.  Make a post on the figgy forum and attach photo.  This is the way I do it but I have a separate e-mail account for my iPhone and laptop.

Didn't know there are edible caprifigs. I'm growing caprifigs Z to see what it's like and see if we have any wasps. Would be good if it turned out to be edible.

I have 3 or 4 Saleeb which is an edible caprifig. Just picked a few figs off it too. Been too busy to photograph them though...maybe tonight after the evening lecture I'm attending on sustainable living: rainwater and gray water harvesting.

I picked this Independence Day Enderud breba in the rain, still with a closed eye.  It was watery, but still good.  My wife thinks it tastes mildly figgy, I don't.  It appears to have a grainy texture near the eye but it doesn't

Leo, I might have Saleeb. I'll look for it this weekend.

Capri Q is an excellent edible caprifig. I was quite amazed by it at the fig fiesta last year. One of the favorite figs of the day.
