Keep in mind , this is my first year for any amount of figs over 2-5 . Sooo I'm really excited that I'm getting more this year. A few at a time are getting ripe. Sal's C was semi sweet could have stayed on tree a few more days . Celeste - a couple were very sweet one was just so so. Chicago Hardy was just ok, barely sweet. It's still a young tree though or maybe needed to stay on tree longer. Maybe a few others when ripe will be better. Kadota won over all - creamy , ,honey sweet 8 out of 10 ! BT was maybe a 5-6 out of ten in sweetness. __________________ 7a & 9b ►I assume all my figs carry FMV ◄ Seeking : Italian 376,395 , Galicia Negra, Negretta,UNK Pastilliere ,Pananas Purple, Malta Blk+purple/red, Italian + Calabrian UNK's , Catanzaro, Malone, Sucrette(Baud) "We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?" - Gandhi

Thanks guys ! A few other varieties hopefully will ripen, but they are young trees. Still, I'm hoping to get a taste this year. __________________ 7a & 9b ►I assume all my figs carry FMV ◄ Seeking : Italian 376,395 , Galicia Negra, Negretta,UNK Pastilliere ,Pananas Purple, Malta Blk+purple/red, Italian + Calabrian UNK's , Catanzaro, Malone, Sucrette(Baud) "We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?" - Gandhi

Pattee, Thanks for the pictures and commentary. Congrats. I tried to kill my kadota this winter by leaving them out in the weather (5 gallon buckets), but they grew back from the roots, have over 3 feet of new growth and produced figlets. Given your fig description and since they have proven hardy, I will plant them in ground and see how they perform next year. Thanks.

Thanks Mike , Sophie,Bugs, John and Smaritza. Each day now I am picking 1 -4 more. I have a bunch of other varieties that aren't close yet - so hoping they ripen to extend the season. __________________ 7a & 9b ►I assume all my figs carry FMV ◄ Seeking : Italian 376,395 , Galicia Negra, Negretta,UNK Pastilliere ,Pananas Purple, Malta Blk+purple/red, Italian + Calabrian UNK's , Catanzaro, Malone, Sucrette(Baud) "We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?" - Gandhi
