Yummy and very fruity/sweet according to my Daughter-in-Law. Aesthetically they are some of the most beautiful figs I have seen. Hard to find cuttings or plants in the US. Its not legal to bring in cuttings or seeds from Turkey unless you have the required permits. I tried to get some cuttings before I realized that E-bay did not limit their offerings to what could be imported legally. Fortunately the sale was cancelled but a year later we got a letter from the USDA reinforcing the point. There are a couple of F4F members growing this variety but I have yet to see any reviews fro them as to production and Taste. They are one of the varieties at the top of my list to grow. |

Agreed. Good luck finding one here in the US. Otherwise, it tastes exactly like a visit from the USDA. Better safe than sorry. |
