Enjoyed the tour. Thank You for posting.

Wow, that's what I am shooting for, would love to have a cutting of the Tiger stripe fig don't have one. All of my fruit trees are only 2 years old, have a long way to go, I just started last year with figs and trying to collect some, hopefully my little orchard will look like that in a couple of years..Thank you for posting the video. .figs collectin is so addictive.

Yeah Panache (tiger stripe) would be awesome, the guy said that growing them is good for him financially.  He must be making some bucks on those nice figs.  I wonder how cold hardy Panache is...  It it won't make in the ground in my zone I won't mess with it.

He mentioned that the Panache fig came from France, which confirms what others have said.
Since it is a fairly untested cultivar in colder zones, I would test it along with other varieties. I presume that it will take several more years and many tests to know for sure.
My Panache which I bought from an online nursery about four years ago still has not produced a single fig, but know that it will soon.
As to the way this fig tastes, I would buy Panache at a store near me every time over any other black mission or Brown Turkey when in season.
The way this fig tastes makes it a serious contender to one of favorite figs, namely Col De Dame Blanc.
In Texas, it would not be a problem, as I'm able to ripen just about any fig I grow with a couple of exceptions so far, but If it is a late ripening fig, then it might not be suitable for growing everywhere, unless one could create the right environment for it.

I am from Texas so that's great new's for me!! Just need to find a cutting, I wonder if the person on the video would sale a cutting or 2?

It's a early fig with one main crop..loves the heat and is right at the top when dead ripe. However, you need to pick when just soft as they don't shrivel and droop like most figs when ripe.

Does anyone have a cutting for sale by any chance of the panache?

Enjoyed the tour and thank you for sharing the information. I will be calling the guy for a visit.

this was a very nice vid, thanks for sharing it
