I can not wait what this year fig tasting going to look like.Everybody has so many varieties now that the choices become more difficult.i wonder if it could be split-up this way: First 5 figs that you could not live without,then the next 5 to round out the rest.This thread is posted too soon and that is the problem for me.Bob(z7/AR).

This is why you go for five figs that cover your entire growing season!
__________________ Especially desired figs: UCD 187-25, UCD 200-48, UCD 157-17, UCD 309-B1, Princesa, Black Madeira, high quality sugar fig that ripens Sept-Oct. Probable desired fig: Smith, St Jean, JH Adriatic, CddB, Gulbun, Pastilliere, Sucrette Rooting: Smith, CDDB--this pretty much means I have my fun tries (tho' important since they are truly desirable), and only interested for this year: Gulbun, BM, 187-25, or something wildly exotic or precious that nobody has any good reason to send me.

I started out with 3. I was sure that's all I needed. But, no... now I have 15 different types. And that not even close to some of other members collection. Fig collection is very addictive.
Quit before you get dragged into it. Join FA (Figaholic Anonymous). Don't let your friends get started. If you have already been drawn into it.. buy, trade, steal all figs inight so you can prevent you friend and family from going down the same path...
