angler dude.
Flora is great -- super cold hardy and super early!
Maybe not a top 10 taste wise but I love mine! But then again it does not need the extra housing , etc.

Adding another to the orchard this year.

I agree with Michael -- early, hardy, tasty.  But the taste is mainly sweet; there are some fruity flavors, but only subtle.  It isn't a richer berry flavor like Mt Etnas and nowhere near Ronde de Bordeaux.

As with all figs, for optimal flavor it has to be dead ripe.  A not-quite-ripe Florea will be somewhat bland and disappointing.
