So this year I have been fortunate to taste several new varieties. All varieties were 1-2 years old. Ronde de Bordeaux was good flavor but would have been better if I had allowed to hang a couple more days Paradiso Nero Mario was good size and very sweet Salce. Very sweet good flavor Vista very good sweet with berry and fig flavor JH Adriatic sweet fruity almost strawberry flavor Improved Celeste was okay but ripened during wet weather and i only kept it from exploding by moving under carport Still have a couple more varieties I should be able to try this year but if I had to pick a winner to date it would be Vista. However JH Adriatic is a very close second. __________________ Womack Northwest Georgia 7b Wish list: Col de Dame Gris, Black Tuscan, Socorro Black

Is Georgia a great area to grow figs...over here we have dry hot summer...good for most figs.....I would think your state would have humidity which is better for figs...??? Still learning....Love Figs !!!! __________________ Armando in the Heart of California
