I gave mine away, not really having much luck here with striped figs.
But that one looks mighty fine.
I will just have to live vicariously through other that grow them. lol

This is one I've always admired from afar. Anyone in the north east having good experience with this one... Or am I going to need to extend my fig-tax to Berkley?

that is one nice looking fig! I've never seen one of these, much less tasted one. The dripping honey has me salivating. Thanks for posting this - a good view of why we are submersed in this hobby - for the figs!

Nice review. Based on the pictures, I believe you may have picked that fig a day or two late. It usually has a red interior that matches that drop of honey.

@
Figology . Thank you so much for that observation. I have at least six more figs growing on two different trees. So I get another chance to pick it at the right time. I cannot imagine how wonderful it would have been to bite into a bright purple Scarlet, and pulpy treat like that. The flavors I'm sure would have been even sweeter, and more complex.
BTW. These cuttings were a gift from the incredibly generous Venturabananas. At just one CRFG event he created my home Orchard out of thin air.

This is a good fig when I can get one to ripen without splitting. It does not seem to like the southeast.
