I love when I pick and eat a really good fig…. Then look at the tag and think to myself …. “Huh… when did I get that one?”

Is there another fig that compares to Iranian Candy?
I'm still thinking about adding it but if it's too much like something else than....meh.
But...if early....may be worth it anyway.
Siblawi taste like banana popsicle to me but is right there with Iranian Candy for brix if you’re just looking to satisfy a sweet tooth

That one was on my list for this last cutting season but I held off for....I really can't remember why.
I put it off until this coming season.
But,....I say BUT....It depends on if I'm able to nail down Iranian Candy first. lol

I sorta want a banana tasting fig. Or at least taste one sometime.
This time of the season a 5 . But they will probably slide down to a 3.5 as the top tier figs start to ripen

Now you know you have too many trees when you ask that question. Kinda like I think I have a child named John but let me go check with my wife.Is it strange that “I think” I’m rooting a Teramo cutting but I’m not sure….I need to go out back and take a look around to remember what I’m rooting
Izbat An Naj is supposed to taste banana and pineapple after a few years.
Hey! I resemble that remark!! LolSome of us don't know what we have in the yard much less what we are rooting.

My young tree shot a branch at a wrong place. I can start an air layer for you, if you'd like. (Source of the tree: One Green World)

I’ve heard this comment about several green figs with red interiors - can you quantify what makes it not quite an Adriatic?
Is it that it isn’t as berry flavored? Or not as intense? I’m not sure I truly know what people consider a “true” Adriatic to be honest and the only thing in my mind that classify them is:
Green exterior, red interior, berry flavored (usually strawberry?) and still decent flavor into cool weather.

To those who are unaware.......To be called a real fig fanatic you must be unaware of at least 15% of what is in your collection, and have over 50 varieties. 100+ is required to enter into the inner circle of fanatics. Once you enter the ICF you can never leave. The cost of leaving is not spoken of.Is it strange that “I think” I’m rooting a Teramo cutting but I’m not sure….
