I'm not seeing anything special about this variety. These were pretty bland. |

Wish I could watch your videos, but our internet up here in the foothills is bad! Maybe your tree needs a few more years on it. |

Like Suzi said seems most figs need a few years before they hit there flavor peak. |

The figs seemed to hang onto the tree pretty hard. |

Sampled NdC last season and found them ordinary. Hope things can improve this season. |

I've heard people say this is the same as kathleen black, do you beleive it is? I have kathkeen's black but not this one and its been in ground for a couple seasons now and it is really good, one of the best in my yard just not very productive. This season it had no brebas and only 6-8 main crops for a tree that's a few years old. |

I'm in North Austin, TX and after three years my Noire de Caromb in pot finally yielded some fruit. Its fig is larger than the Violette de Bordeaux and perhaps darker in color when ripe. |

I acquired one NDC one and a half month ago and indeed it is a slow grower variety. |

2015 - a short hot streak took place when my NdC was ripening. What a difference in taste. |
