I have a new leader of the pack. I have had a lot of good figs. This is the first WOW fig for me this year. Very complex, jammy, sweet berry. My wife and I put this at 9.5 on 1-10. This is a first year tree and I can't wait to see how much better it can get.

It is a good one. And the older the tree, the better the figs!

Frank, this is what I said about Ginos on my post earlier. So I have them neck and neck

"This is another excellent fig. Very sweet, jammy and just a little figgy. It was able to ripen without any rain. I will give it a 9.5 on a 1-10 which is at the top of my list so far for 2013."
