OK, not much to look at, but looks can be deceiving.  Fig was sweet and juicy with a very slight seed crunch.  Texture was creamy, almost melts in your mouth.  Good resistance to rain and has a nice closed eye.  I had trouble coming up with a flavor description for this one, not that it was bad, I just couldn't place the flavor profile.

In my yard it wasn't great, thick skin but in my friends greenhouse it produces lots of great figs, I think this one needs the extra heat which you guys have in texas that I don't quite have here in Canada.

Chivas,

DiRedo is a lot like Salce in that I find it needs the least water of all my fig trees.  You are probably right, it likes hot and dry climates.
