Unk Prosciutto

[387PETE]

My inground trees are starting to ripen some figs. I look forward to this variety every year. Very productive and the figs are some of the best tasting Adriatic type. Right up there with Angelito, Green Goblin and White Madeira. If you can let them ripen until they start wrinkling they are hard to beat. Dehydrated they are next level.

Those look fantastic. All 4 of those varieties you listed are on my wish list for winter.

White Madeira #1 and Unk Prosciutto both should be cold hardy enough for your zone 7b inground

You should come to Figfest in Gaithersburg Saturday September 13th.

A perfectly ripened UP is hard to beat. Way up there for me, even better than WM#1 sometimes. I like mine ripened until I see nice cracks and sugar spots. Too bad my UP is done for the season, and all I have left are good memories and pictures to look at

My Adriatics are just starting to ripen. Maybe you should stagger the early starting date to prolong your season

It's over 4 hours away and this year my day job includes Saturday. But I would like to attend some day.

Will they do well in ground for PA?

Some sources put my area as 6b. Both of these have been on my radar for awhile!

LOL No, my season is not done, far from that. UP and some other varieties like Tia Penya, RDB, Craven's Craving, and a few others are done, but plenty more are ripening. My fig season this year will be extra long by my standards, from late May until late October, weather permitting. Picked about 4-5 lbs of figs this morning before the rain.

Pics like those UP are so hot we may have to blur them to protect the innocent!

Tia Panya and CC. We really need to discuss those

Wth these look spectecular
These pics are killing me, my WL is going to explode
Does unk Prosciutto ripen at the same time as the others (WM#1, GG and Agelito)? Or are any of them particularly early?

Mine are ripening at pretty much the same time. Within a week of each other this year, UP was first but not by much

I have white madeira #1 in ground outside Hershey

Here’s another for your list. Blanche de Duex Saisons. I think this one is just as good if not better tasting then white madeira #1

 

[Ikibahd]

@Figsee your USDA zone in your signature I think should read 6b/7a possibly - it being 6a/7b is kind of skipping 2 “half” zones

Not trying to be critical by the way, just noticed and thought I’d let you know

I keep hoping to shrink it, not lengthen it.... But your posts and pictures are fanning the flames .
