This is one good looking fig, and not bad tasting, either.

Thanks for the delicious looking Beall figs pic's Jon, especially this time of the year. I sure hope this is a productive variant and hope to have some nice figs next season.

Ottawan, I have got Michael & your name for one. Hopefully
this year. I have given a spare to our Canadian fig guru as he
gave Genovese for X'mas present. It was very kind & friendly gesture as well as a good surprise during that time of the year.
In my recent conversation with him, he cited the Genovese as
outstanding & he maybe putting it in-ground this season.

paul,

This may sound as a dumb question but would that be Fico Genovese?
If so, I have several cuttings rooting.

It is suppost to be one of the best tasting figs out there.

Yes its Fico Genovese. It is suppose to be excellent. You are
very fortunate to have cuttings for rooting. I know some
friends have waited for years and they are still waiting. I am
thankful. Adriano cited it would be great for my zone since it
performed for him and that I am in a more favourable zone.

Good luck to your rooting.

I hope you wrote my name on it with permanent marker. So I am moving it from my " Searching for wish List" to my 'waiting for list' . Thanks.
I will plan to make up for it this summer which is just behind a few nasty cold fronts.

Is the Beall an early fig or late?

I don't have one yet and I have never read that it is a late ripening one. However, the only entry in the ripening order by Herman in the thread below (Ripening order)shows pretty late ripening which could be misleading because it shows Beall ripened very late in the season. It could have been a very young plant.

Thanks Akram funny enough I was just looking at that link and noticed Herman was the only one who had that listed and was at the end of August. Either way looks like a good fig and something worth trying.

What a difference a spelling difference makes.
I found in the same thread Herman's listing of 'Beall' showing ripening on November 1, thinking that that it was late so I made the excuse for it that it could have been a young plant.
You found (sppelled)  'Beal' with single 'L' ripening in August. So it does mean that it is really not a late ripening one.

Yes, it has to be good to be named "Be-All" or Beall and not just 'beal', so you may not need the other ones .

I aM HERE:Yes the plant was kind of young ,third year,and in my climate it gets killed almost to ground each year,so it was late here.
But may be if it gets older,then it will be earlier.
In 2009 did not ripe at all.
