Picked a nice variety of figs today . Each with their own unique characteristics. Anthonys' black fig was the clear winner this time around. BHG [nicknamed by some forum members "Brooklyn Hand Grenade"] for it's huge breba it produced last year. This fig is a well performing Brunswick variant. Anthony's black has a unique leaf that resembles a big grape leaf as seen in the picture. Enjoy the photo's. Angelo Zone 7A NY

Angelo, those are some amazing looking figs! I love the dark figs but I have to say the size and color of the BHG looks very appealing. =) Thanks for the pics and the descriptions. __________________ Jules Zone 8a NE Texas Wish List: LSU Thibodeaux, LSU Red, Kathleen's Black, Lebanese Red, Jolly Tiger, Black Madeira, Purple Passion, Zingerilla (sp?), Martin's Purple Black, BA-1, White Ischia, any red fig, any dark fig or unknown

Angelo, I like the look of the fig and leaf of Anthony's Black. Does it taste much like your HC? __________________ Art- Western Pa. 6a

Art, I would say the flavor is similar, but the AB was more intense. I have tasted the HC in different levels of ripeness ,however I picked all these figs because we have been getting a lot of intermittent rain this week . Jules , Thanks for the compliments . Jennifer, thank you and good luck.. Angelo
