Being new to figs, I have not tried many. I liked all the figs I at from my tree. Red Lebanese has a slight berry taste and strong figgy flavor, not too sweet, slight seed crunch. Peters honey was juicy and very sweet. The pulp just melted and vanished in my mouth. The brown turkey was very ripe, and it was like a thick jam, very sweet and slightly chewy. RdB was not too ripe and had a peppery touch. I had to pick it because the birds were getting at my figs faster than I could. __________________ Mohan B Harrisburg, NC - Zone 7a

Unlike the other ones, that Brown Turkey was probably picked at the right time and that's why it tasted best. Congrats... __________________ Sas from North Austin TX Zone 8B Wish list: Becane

Thanks. I pulled my first Black Jack after the birds started picking on them too. The fig was a bit watery, pleasantly sweet. Attached Images image.jpg (86.66 KB, 27 views) image.jpg (72.06 KB, 30 views) image.jpg (91.61 KB, 29 views) __________________ Mohan B Harrisburg, NC - Zone 7a

Mohan, How old is your Black Jack? I've got 6-8 figs on my two year old Black Jack. I am really looking forward to tasting them. __________________ Zone 7b (Central Arkansas) Seven trees in the ground: Hardy Chicago, Celeste(?), LSU gold, Italian Black, Southern Brown Turkey(?), Strawberry Verte, and Unk yellow.

Here are the figs that I pulled from trees. Black Jack, Red Lebanese, Peters Honey(right), Alma(left). They were perfectly ripe. My kids devoured all but a couple they spared for me and my wife to share. Great tasting figs.
