Nice. How did they taste? Do you know how long they took to ripen? __________________ Don - Columbus, OH. Zone 5b/6a Wish list: Rafed/Adriano's Genovese Nero, Your favorite fig.

This one of my favorite figs, good flavor, large, great grower. It will get better with age of the tree. Two crops blended into one long growing season, depending upon rain in early Summer. Only negative is that it is an attractor for every bee and wasp in the county. This especially true if figs are left on tree too long. This is a common trait that is also bad with LSU Gold. __________________ Thx, glad to be here Danny K "EL CAZADOR DE HIGO" Waskom Tx Zone 7B/8 Wish list: anything anyone wants me to have. LSU RED.

My figs in general are smaller this season. LaRadek's can produce some really large figs. They physically appear similar to V.Bayernfeige figs but the taste is different. My taste buds prefer the Laradek. This fig is very sweet and has an excellent "fig" flavor for a BT type fig. It is also quite productive. I can't attest to cold hardiness because Albuquerque does not typically get into the single digits during the winter and I keep my potted figs in a shed during the cold months. If cold hardiness is important, than this fig has all the fine attributes of a productive, large variety with an excellent flavor/sweetness for short season climates.

Leon, Looks good. I'll be looking forward to my tree producing some large tasty figs. It got off to a slow start this year so I think it will have to be next year for me. __________________ Zone 6a Sarver, PA Wish list; Rafed's Genovese Nero

Tonycm- it's worth the wait. It is a very sweet, flavorful fig. Mine took a while to bear fruit as well.
