I was at a nursery yesterday and they were selling Corky's Honey Delight from Monrovia. I was tempted to get it based on the description but it was $60. I researched more about it and it seems very similar to white Genoa which I have. Does anyone know if Corky's honey delight is the same as white Genoa? __________________ California Central Coast Zone 9 Wish List: Figo Preto/Black Madeira, I-258, Genovese Nero

Not sure, I don't think so. The Peter's Honey from Monrovia is delicious if it works for your area. __________________ Calvin Littleton,CO z5/6 Wants List: For everyone to clean-up after themselves and co-exist peacefully.

Thank you both. I've thought about peters honey in the past but I just don't think I have enough heat here on the central coast of California to ripen it properly. The Corky's honey delight caught my eye because it is from a coastal climate of San Diego that I thought would be similar to mine. __________________ California Central Coast Zone 9 Wish List: Figo Preto/Black Madeira, I-258, Genovese Nero

Not the same. Corkys has a heavy, large breba crop. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere

hi, 60$ for a tree ? How big is the damn thing ? Does it fit in a car ? Now, if they are the only source and the strain is worth it, go ahead ... __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here

I know. Crazy. It's not big at all! I think it was in a five gallon. __________________ California Central Coast Zone 9 Wish List: Figo Preto/Black Madeira, I-258, Genovese Nero

Hi Paul, I think Peter's Honey would do well in your area. Mine does here, and I think we have similar climates. __________________ Gary in CA 9A Seeking: Bebera Branca*, Colonel Littman's Cross
