Finally. This is not a fig I wanted. Someone piggy back my imports from Encanto Farms some yrs back but did not pickup plants(or pay). Very good quality. Hole on fig -- drilled by black wasp.

Paully, This fig looks to be very sweet, as most of the light colored pulps.. Francisco

I have this fig (zone 10b) and when it ripens it is like seedless jam. Even when not fully ripen the taste is sweet. It is a good grower and never cracks or spoils not even in rainy weather. The eye is closed and they get yellow long before ripening. When extremely hot some figs drop. Completely seedless. Definitely a keeper. __________________ Sal Florida 10b whish list: dark portuguese,Smith, O'Rourke, Battaglia, Col De Dame, Abeberreira,Bourjassotte Noire (Sollies), Ronde de Bordeaux, Hunt,

100% correct guys. Wished we had more. Once again this fig well being was ignored for a long time. Its quality is better than many fig variants. It will get a new pot and a definite spot in my green house. Just making sure that we get to enjoy this variant MORE every season.

Great looking fig Paul, I grew this one for 3 years and never fruited since I had so many supposedly better figs in my collection I discarded it what a mistake. __________________ Mississauga, ON, Canada Z5B/6A

Nelson, I am either a stubborn or slow learner or a combination. Over the last 2 to 3 yrs I am finding that not all that glitters is gold. I found many supposed to be high quality figs are either too ordinary or not suitable to my zone or my taste preference is at a different level. As is, I am mostly consolidating & this focus have unearth many gems this season like Yugo Yellow, Gypsy, MaryLane, Red German etc. Even less knowns like Nardi Blk, Vincenzo, Large Greek Blk and Enrico taste better than many, many figs and these variants are home ground variants. I started an air layer on MaryLane for you and moved plant into greenhouse.

Hey Paul, I agree with you. Allot of the first variants I got still remain better tasting that the fancy named figs. Enrico and Nardi blk specially since 2011 those two have not disappointed me yet productive and tasty brebas and main crop. I too neglected them at first and boy did I learn my lesson another jewel is michals westmore Greek very good and productive. __________________ Mississauga, ON, Canada Z5B/6A

. Here is mine from 2014. She's got figs, but not yet ripe in 2015. The drop of honey tastes like the best honey ever, and mine does have some seed crunch which makes me adore her more! __________________ Zone 9b, Southern California.
