Picked these 2 giant Dalmatie figs. The figs have been dripping fig honey for a few days and have made a mess of the organza bags. The neck was still firm and could have stayed another day but I picked them rather than the rain splitting them open. You can see the honey oozing out. They were very sweet and juicy but not watery as you may expect after days of rain. Little seed crunch, nice fig aroma, and tasted like jam. One fig was like a complete dinner I put the other in the fridge for tomorrow. Will see how it tastes chilled. Had the other fig today after refrigerating. This fig ripened more evenly. Same sweet taste not as juicy since it thickened overnight. Thanks for looking comments welcome!

Gorgeous! __________________ Wish list: Galicia Negra, Violetta, Violette de Sollies, Dan_la's Black Beauty 10, Craven's Craving, Most important: YOUR FAVORITE FIG. A lot of people put emphasis on popular/exotic cultivars, which is great because it highlights some of the better fig varieties; however, I am most interested in the figs our members love regardless of pedigree. Currently Growing: a bunch of varieties.

Thanks for your comments everyone! The problem now is the temperature are going to be staying very cool next few days 7-10C/45-55F and rain. Hope the rest of the in ground figs ripen. This fig seems to hang in pretty well in cool weather. __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

Pino, Very nice. congratulations. May I chime in that the Dalmatie I got from you in 2013 produced exactly the same giant fruits. On one side we all get super excited about those giant fruits; in my case Dalmatie, Niagara Black, Breba of Brooklyn Dark, White and Bronze Paradiso all produced 120 to 150 gram fruits. all of them be subject due to size of uneven ripeness along the fruit. Personaly I prefer varieties with snaller fruits that ripen entirely and have uniform flavour troughout. Damir

Thanks Damir! I concur with you on the challenges (in our cool climate) of even ripening of some large figs. These dalmaties actually ripened well except a part of the neck. The rest of the figs were perfectly ripe and delicious. Throwing a piece of the neck away on such a large fig is no big loss. You do need patience though because as the length of ripening time increases the browning around the ostiole also increases. I find by using an organza bag it keeps the bugs out and increases the success factor. In the case of Dalmatie you need to wash the organza bag afterwards since it gets full of honey..lol. __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

Thanks Vito! Belleclare list had a fig like this also. This fig has been around a long time and for good reason. I have grown this fig almost 10 years. Everyone that tries it seems to love it. I updated the post with the 2nd fig I refrigerated overnight. __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

Picked 3 more Dalmatie yesterday. These are not as large as the previous batch but seemed perfectly ripe and very sweet with a rich jammy flavour. I was surprised at how amazing they tasted given that the last 2 weeks have been mostly cloudy, rain and cool (nights have been 40's days in 50's). There is still many figs swelling on the tree and temps have warmed up so I am hoping for a few more figs to ripen. Thanks for looking comments welcome.

Thanks everyone for your comments and encouragement! Frank, they do look very similar to me also. Such a delicious super sweet fig. I don't have a sweet tooth so I didn't like this fig for a long time because it was too sweet. I was convinced to eat just a little a at time. Now I can't stop eating them..LOL Bob, the leaves vary depending on the vigour of the growth. Interestingly this year the leaves seem very consistent on all my trees. Here is another leaf photo. __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

Thanks Shawn! Don't know how this Dalmatie would do in hot California but I definitely recommend it for cool climates, The cool weather doesn't seem to bother this fig's ripening process. There are still many swollen figs on the tree we'll see how it makes out with tonight's forecasted freeze. __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

Thanks Smyfigs! Would love to trade or send some cuttings to you but California has strict plant material import rules. Check out Jon's Encanto nursery he has a zillion fig varieties and he sells cuttings. I think his Stella is very similar. __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

Very nice Pino. You've given me something to look forward to. I rooted 2 nice ones this year. I sold one at a street fair and kept one that has grown nicely but will not ripen a fig this year Next year should do the trick, I will definitely root a few more this winter __________________ Coop Northern NJ Zone 7a

Thanks Coop! One further comment is that I grow in ground and keep it low and bushy so it is easy to cover. It doesn't grow too vigorously but produces lots of figs and even now it is still ripening figs. Thanks Bob! I agree that a fig can't be too sweet. I enjoyed some really super sweet figs this summer that dazzled me. For me these were beautiful deserts that I enjoyed eating and sharing 1 or 2 figs at a time. Some people prefer when figs are not completely ripe and thus not quite as sweet but still a rich flavour so can eat a whole bunch without worrying about too much sugar...LOL __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

I was rushing around picking figs before the storm and I glanced over at the in ground Dalmatie plant and saw these 5 huge figs getting ripe fast. This is early for Dalmatie so I wasn't expecting it. Once was shiny with honey and drooping and knew it was ripe. Unfortunately as I picked it slipped out of my hand and into the dirt with the ostiole end getting flattened. Wasn't going to let that thing get away so I rinsed off, took a photo and ate it. Could only eat 2 bites and gave the rest to my wife. It was the sweetest fig I had ever had and delicious.

Hi Pino, The maincrops on my Dalmaties are ripening too. I already took 15 out of my 3 trees in ground. It is the second year that they ripen in early September here. So I think that they'll be ripening on those dates in the future. So keep an eye on your Dalmatie trees in September :) . __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

Hi Pino: It looks nice, Is it main crop figs, Did you get "Breba" as well from same tree? Is it consider early ripen vareities? __________________ - BC, Canada, PNW Zone 8 with windy ( Zone7 - branches damage at winter) - Wish list - Granthams Royal, RdB, any heavy breba varieties or early one crop varieties.

Quote: Originally Posted by ricky Hi Pino: It looks nice, Is it main crop figs, Did you get "Breba" as well from same tree? Is it consider early ripen vareities? Ricky, It is a main crop fig. All 3 of my in ground trees have swollen figs ripening fast. Not an early ripener and not a late ripener this year they ripened 10 days after my mt. etnas. As a reference Brooklyn white and Atreano have not ripened yet but are now swollen. In Niagara -20C/-4F or colder winters even with protection only a few brebas survive on any in ground tree. This one had a few but they dropped during the drought. My in ground desert king only had 1 breba survive. Thanks for the tip jdsfrance! Meg, we got rain all night now going to check the damage and see how many figs split. My Mt etnas are wonderful they rarely split, Dalmatie can split if it rains but not always depends how advanced. Good luck with your Dalmatie! They are a relatively small plants but seem to need a big pot when not planted in ground and take a few years to start producing. They produce great in ground. __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

Does your tree suffer much dieback every year?

I think this fig is designed for cool climates. It continues to ripen into late October (or until hard frost hits) even when it is cool and wet and other figs have stopped ripening or started tasting blah. The Dalmatie figs ripened end of October are still just as sweet, the flesh still bright red and delicious taste. I cover all my in ground figs for winter. The Dalmaties I throw an open 55gal drum over them and fill with compost and woodchips. The branches survive and even produce a few brebas. Dalmatie is not as vigorous and as productive as the mt etna's but just as cold tolerant. __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

Here are a couple more Dalmatie photos. Interesting tidbit the 8 yr old Dalmatie tree consistently produces large figs 55 - 75 grams. The younger tree 2nd year in ground tree figs are smaller 40-50 grams. Both delicious but the older tree figs are juicier.

Thanks Sarina and Jeff! I think it is a perfect fig for my area and in a taste category of its own. You do need some patience since it is a slow grower and seems to take 3 years to start producing. Once it starts it is very consistent year after year. __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

Thought I would show a photo I just got of a Dalmatie dripping fig honey for a few days. In the case of Dalmatie since it is such a big fig it is better to not pick it until the neck feels soft so the fig is ripe throughout. I will pick this fig in a day or 2 or before the next rain. __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.
