Black Madeira on the right, Madeira Island Black on the left. Clearly they needed a day or 2 more, (especially Madeira Island Black)  but one was already pecked. Still delicious.

 
 
  
   



   

Nice, they look delicious.

How much of a head start, if any, do you give them?

Man they look good. Love those Portuguese figs! 🇵🇹

I am new to figs. Who introduced the Madeira Island black? And how is it different from BM? I tried google.. not getting anywhere..

KK - I've been wondering if people were just calling them all Black Madeira. I've made sure I'm calling mine Madeira Island Black as you sold it to me. It's heavenly.

Leaves have a noticeable difference. mIB fingers go straight up compared to BM. Figs are darker too on BM. Both look good don't get me wrong lol.

Both look super....

KK,
Nice pics. I purchased an MIB from you. It is one of my fastest growing trees given its initial size. 

Which ripens sooner? Or are they roughly at the same time? How does Figo Preto compare to the above figs? 

Here are some images of my Madeira Island Black fruit. I started mine from cuttings I obtained from KK. My plants are on their second growing season and the fruit is excellent for me. The first year fruit wasn't as good as it is now. It's definitely a keeper for me. One other thing worth mentioning is that my in ground tree survived temperatures down to the lower twenties its first winter with no dieback.

Hey KK, Thanks a lot for the Beautiful Figs and Photos and also the information on the difference between these two. : )

Interesting to see the difference. Thanks for showing kk.

Am I the only one who sees exactly the same kind of fig: one more ripe than the other?
I see far more variation between figs I harvest from the same tree. Even leaves vary much more even on the same branch!
