Stallion is an early, figgy, excellent tasting improved Celeste with a "wallop" as Frank (FMD) describes it. Even with heavy rains the past two days only one of many split. These figs were able to dead ripen and crack just a little bit to let me know that they were ready. It has gotten better with time [1][2].

Is there anyone growing this who can speak to cold-hardiness? Looks like a great fig! __________________ Ed Zone 6A - Southwest PA --------------------------- Short wish list: CDDG, LSU Red, Dark Greek (Navid), Col Littman's Black Cross. And any cold hardy early fig.

Man, that looks great. Got to add it to my wish list.....look like it's an impossible task to down size my collection. Only option is to stay away from F4F & that's no fun.

JD, man, I love it when you post pictures of your figs! The only figs I'm picking are Florea. The birds are beating me to my Hardy Chicago this year. Emerald grapes are ripening too. __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a
