Last year someone sent me cuttings of Sucrete... I did not document properly and have no idea who sent it to me... whomever you are.. please send me a PM and remind me, please. I want to thank you very much for this wonderful fig! It is one of my triplet grafting, so very small, but it produced an incredible fig. I love the taste and I am further in love with my triplets... (the others are TX everbearing and Panache...those are hanging in there, perhaps some will be good to eat) |

Sucrette was my favorite at the Jon's fig fiesta (along with Zidi) this year. Was a large, good looking and tasty fig. On a different front, I think your RdB needed more time :) Congratulations! |

Igor, I have to learn when it is the right time.. I keep looking at it.. looking at it.. and it appeared ready... I guess, I did not learn from Bob to allow them to droop. There are a few more... This time I will allow it to sag in there. |

I agree, I've been saying it for some time. |

RDB turns so dark so early, well before it is fully ripe, sometimes it is tempting to pick it early. |

Axier, is the Sucrette from Baud the same as the Sucrette from M. Pons? I assume so but couldn't find any information to confirm. |

I picked my first and only UCD Sucrette about 10 days ago from my 2nd year tree. It started early and took forever to ripen. It seems to have stunted the growth of the tree a bit as well so I cut the others off. It was good, but nothing to write home about. Next year should be much better. |

Congrats on your Sucrette, Grasa. Sounds like a keeper. |
