Cherry flavor fig

[GoodFriendMike]

Ok, went down a weird rabbit hole. Dapple Dandy Pluot x Bing Cherry for a nice sized delicious pluerriot tree.

Is there a Stonefruit section on this forum?

Hmm. If there was members would still post in the fig section. Photo's of fruit?

I got an idea @TorontoJoe , Planting The Gauntlet: White Oak, with Chestnuts and Figs as Hog Heaven's final meal.

I haven't had a fig in so long, I feel like an imposter here hahaha

Man fig or not. You belong here. There is a gardening talk section for a reason.

Does Peter's Honey also taste like bananas? I read that it's the same fig as Izbat An Naj so it must, right?.

I dont think theyre the same. Ive had people who grow both disagree with it. Someone posted a thread of both caprified and uncaprified some time ago as well and there were differences. I definately think banana but also i knew tk expect it, so who knows

Here's a Dapple Dandy Pluot I grew in San Diego, I think Bing Cherry pollen might be a good canidate or maybe Rainer pollen?

Make my own Pluerriot is what I was getting at

It's the Forestry Department. Pretty nice resource. I'm thinking of buying persimmon rootstock.

I know this happened… a lot. Many didn’t hold their figs here… those ones were just forgotten. Others were not kept because even though common, they just didn’t do well here. Poor production… late ripening etc…. This is why….. and all respect to those in Cali who hunt for fig varieties… but I would suggest that knocking on doors in certain NI neighborhoods might be a bigger treasure trove of good, proven figs than where they grow wild.

Especially now that you consider what’s still here is so good that it’s been kept for 3, 4 or more generations. That’s exactly what Vince #3 is. u. Prosciutto

Basically, when scouting backyards for heirloom varieties... you need to look for the right signs.... Something like this is a sure bet

Then why not try finding heirloom figs on the west coast? Imagine all the varieties that actually survived since the climate is more forgiving. I found a tree on the sidewalk in SF in a neighborhood where the Italians used to live(not little Italy). It makes really interesting elongated green figs with red flesh(definitely not an Etna).

That's so nice. Do they have a good dwarf? I need to consult with the Google

I totally love pairing my figs with other flavours!

The only fruit I had prosciutto wrapped around it was honeydew melon. It was very good.

Now that looks amazing. Many stone fruit don't do well here. But I do love them.

On melon is excellent... But with figs..... Any kind.... the salty with the sweet and the acid with the fat....

If any of you find one that is supposed to stay small, please let me know

It’s actually a smaller fig. I don’t think it’s Dalmatie. I have Stella. I’m planning to get a cutting to graft either this spring or next spring. I never paid attention to it before because the leaves look similar to a Mission.

Im not sure if pluots will take cherry pollen. It took making tetraploid sweet cherry and then doing embryo rescue after pollenating thousands of trees each season to create the first pluerries.
