I would like to thank everyone here who took the trouble to analyze and share specifically what they were tasting. These divisions of flavor are really helpful for people like myself shopping for which figs to grow. In the past, I tend to "eat" with my eyes and think: pretty picture, good/not good or sweet/not sweet and wind up with several trees that all taste the same, missing out on some really unique and exquisite flavors. For example, someone described Pastilliere as tasting like fruit jam having a slight mulberry taste. I love mulberries, so that was one of my “must have” fig trees.  

     Dividing the sweet “Honey Fig” flavor into a honey flavor and a sugar/brown sugar/molasses/ even light maple flavor seems more precise and helpful. Was the flavor watery or intense? Saying if it has a strong fig flavor or a mild fig flavor is also helpful for us “selling” these to family and friends who don’t like figs.

All the fruit flavors aren’t just strawberry. Dividing it into Adriatic Berry and Bordeaux Berry “rich with slightly complex additional flavors” and even “Exotic Berry’, whatever that means, is even more helpful. Also describing whether it’s more acid or sub-acid is helpful.

Thanks again to everyone here for all this detail about the taste in figs. I started out wanting just one or two fig trees, realized that it would be fun to have one or more of each flavor, and wind up with many more than I intended.
