Dan's Figs --- 2010 Season
Comments (91)Last couple of days I have been spitting out most figs that I tried eating. Sweetness and flavor is much diminished as the cool weather has taken its toll. Hardy Chicago, quite a few figs got hanging ripe. However, flavor was much muted. These were barely edible figs. VDB still has flavor but sweetness is gone. Some figs are developing a green mold....first time I have seen mold on any of my figs. Fico Negra, two figs fell soon after they started to color and soften. Nice size beautiful fig with blocked eye, red pulp, no voids in the pulp. I was glad to see no void on the inside of this fig. Did have some flavor and a little sweetness; however, they definitely were not ripe enough. This cultivar has very large stems. Malta Purple, my young potted tree produced a very good tasting fig for me this morning. This cultivar will likely be excellent tasting in my area given how good it tastes right now from a young plant. Native Black, sweetness and flavor has diminished quiet a bit. These figs continue to ripen dark black in color and are still edible. Unknown Late Green (possibly a La. heirloom fig), figs were good tasting. Eye is closed and interior is deep dark red. This one is a small fig and is different than the other green figs that are in my collection. Pastillier, all figs fell of my tree this year. Maybe will taste one next year. Panachee, I had about a dozen figs on my tree this year and was hoping to taste at least one. These figs all disappeared one day and I can guess where they went. My grandson and his friend likely took them to show them to their pals. They were fascinated with them figs looking like little hot air balloons. A bit disappointed, but if they did that.....it is OK if it keeps them interested in figs. I had given them permission to eat any ripe fig they saw in my yard. Dan...See MoreVA fig ID
Comments (18)Flavor,Different but Just as good,if not Better. Adaptability to grow in cold rainy climate:Good But Atreano is better. Fruit Size:Atreano is larger and has very Large Breba,of good quality,ripe in July. Battaglia has only main crop and it ripe a good month or two behind Atreano. So You see ,you got to grow both ,one doesn't do the job of the other. Also there is another white cultivar similar to Battaglia that is ,a touch better in my climate : JH Sourced Adriatic ,is a more robust cultivar,of the same excellent fruit qualities,yet they have other adaptabilities that are different,like size of tree. Battaglia remain a small tree while JH Adriatic will grow into a larger tree,and also produce Breba....See MoreName Your Best Taisting Fig
Comments (21)My results from this year: o Best all-around-fig: Alma -- best balance of flavor and sweetness -- this is my favorite two years running o Sweetest: Celeste -- the problem with these is that they never make it to the house -- they are so small I tend it eat them as I pick them o Best Flavor: Sultane o Most prolific: Italian Honey & Celeste (tie) o Worst: Violette de Bordeaux (this one was a disappointment this year -- very sour -- does not matter what level of ripeness they are picked. These have been heading to the compost pile. This evening we are getting a good rain -- lets see how this week's pick tastes) o Surprise: Brown Turkey -- very sweet with a lot of flavor. This is a big surprise because these tend to blow-up with water into giant, flavorless, figs. This year's dry weather seems to suit this variety. This is best tasting figs this tree has produced in 21 years. -Steve...See MoreOC figs
Comments (8)Cazimere:Much Better:Sorry:I was the one that was interested to make an ID. Because any time I hear that a fig was ,as sweet if not sweeter ,compared to Violette de Bordeaux,I jump right up and become interested. Why:Because there are so many cultivars in the trade that are much less sweet and flavorfull than Violette de Bordeaux,and I too have some of those. So,as my space is limited,I immediatelly seen something to replace some of my trees. For Now,what you have is something similar to eather: First choice :Adriatic Jh,or One of Paradiso,White or Bronze. When you grow your plant,ask me to compare again,new pixes,to make a definite ID....See More- 16 years ago
