This fig wasn't as good as they usually get. It was a little watered down due to all the rain. It was still nice and sweet and has that unusual flavor that I can't figure out. Maybe honey or molasses. I gave it a 7 and my wife gave it an 8. I know from last year that this fig is a good one.

Art, I think I will like this one before the summer is over. This is what I said about the first fig I have had from my tree.

jelly like honey flavor. It is different but has a good flavor

Yeah, Your description is spot on. I know if I can get about three days without rain they will be better. Mine are wanting to blow up.

I have a 5 1/2' tree in a 30 gal pot, but no figs this year. Hope I get to share your experience next year.

Bugs, You know up here I haven't had a day in the 90's. It would be one thing if we just had a light rain, but we are getting these heavy down pours.

Same here Art, same here. We just had enough 45 min. rain storm go through tonight. All most every night we have been getting rain and if we are lucky it may hit 80 during the day. The grass is getting molded, have to cut it shorter.

The unusual cool temps don't help either, Art.

Hopefully it will warm up and stay warm so we can enjoy our fruit.

Rafed, I'm sure you are probably getting similar or worse weather.

Let's just say we are in Defcon 3 and another couple weeks of this cool stuff and we upgrade to Defcon 4.

Interested in an experiment?  I covered a few potted 'trees' with clear plastic bags when it rained here to see if it would make a difference.  too early to tell yet.

Art were they breba or main? I have a couple main crop figs on my tree that I started this past winter.with this cold rainy weather we've been having everything is way behind. The only good thing with this weather is that we'll be putting the trees through some rigorous testing. If the figs are good this year then they should be really good in a normal year.

Tony, they are main crop.

Wayne, It's a splitter.

The one on the left was pretty good.

Art, I just had the second fig and it was a good bit better than
the first. No rain for two weeks helped a lot. It was about
an 8.

It agree, it is a really good fig and I am glad to have it in my collection. It definitely has its own subtle unique flavor with a nice honey note.
