I looked over the forum and haven't seen an answer for the question, which I haven't seen asked either. So here is the question, drum roll please! What type of Figs are used to make fig Newtons? __________________ Mike Hughes, D.Min., Th.D. - Minister  Springhill church of Christ 902 Janice Dr. Springhill, LA. 71085 Rooting: LSU Hollier, Kadota, LSU SY, MB VS, EBT, Ronde de Bordeaux, Emerald Strawberry, LSU Purple, Mission, JH Adriatic, Strawberry Verte, Osborn, chicago Hardy Wish list: LSU Red, Adriatic JH, Zone 8 Ebay ID: Macmik12 member of Ebay since 2000 Web: http://www.mikealrhughes.com E-mail: mail@mikealrhughes.com http://www.gardenweb.com/members/macmikeal

I think I read somewhere it the Celeste/Malta/Sugar fig. I will check online sellers. I believe it is used in a plant description. Mike

Most sites list it as Kadota. I also read something about it being a mix of different varieties, but mostly Kadota. http://www.organicauthority.com/mojo-foods/how-and-why-to-forage-green-fruit-figs-trees.html https://www.willisorchards.com/product/white-kadota-fig-tree __________________ (Zone 12a) Big Island, Hawaii, 2,400 ft elevation, Fern Forest.
