Hi, Amsman. Do you pictures of the fig uncut? Perhaps someone can have a better idea with more pictires? __________________ Meg-Hardiness Zone 10a Looking for...

It's not a Ronde de Bordeaux. The leaves don't match and would be long fingered type. __________________ Zone 6a Sarver, PA Wish list; Rafed's Genovese Nero

This is a tough one! I don't think we did this fig justice, but I will try! The figs are definitely common figs. They look amazing! Can you describe the taste? 1. Were they sweet or super sweet? 2. Were they rich tasting? 3. Did any ripe figs ooze honey from the eye? 4. What did they taste like? Melon? Mulberries? 5. How many crops a year does the tree produce? And when? 6. Does it have a breba crop? 7. Any idea how many grams one fig weighs? 8. Is the eye open or closed when ripe? __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a

Thank you for answering. unfortunately, i had only 2 of them, as it is not my tree - which is in the neighbourhood, but at least i took cuttings, i will try to answer some question. They were SUPER sweet, one of the sweetest i had, they have a breba and main crop. the fruit´s skin is very dark. maybe this is enough? BR
