Medium fig with not much personality or taste to date. Just a little sweetness and the slightest about of some type of melon. Difficult to describe as you can see. I even forgot to take a pic of the inside it was so unimpressive. Maybe the next will give a better presentation of itself. LOL. About a 5.

Wow! Thanks for the post.
The photos I have seen were showing a beautiful fig!
I even tried to root my single cutting last winter but it died.
I guess it meant to be...

Igor, a lot of factors go into making a fig taste good or not so good. I am basing my comments on the taste of "one" little old fig. I certainly will give this one
much more time to redeem itself and prove that this fig was a botched, miscarriage or what ever. Only time and me trying to make a few changes to help
it along will tell.

I have Aubiqua Petite which tasted good for a few years, but last year the taste improved very much, some said the best tasting fig in my yard.  Only thing I can attribute it to is age
