Cavaliere goodness

Dang folks, this was probably the best Cavaliere I've had.
Was around the 40 gram mark, skin was a bit tough having ripened in cooler weather.
But dang, I got a jolly rancher type flavor from it, very sweet and syrupy.

I picked it a little early because there was a split in the skin, not like the fig split on it's own..I think I may have caused it. :D
Too bad it was my last one, but what a way to get a last one!

Debating on adding this one...... you have a strong argument

It took a year of mediocre figs...(last year)
Much better this year.

I'd say if you have the room...give it a try.

Why the cull?
 
@"9ah-figlet"#12   Wow that's a good size, I'm not sure mine were getting that big...but good size for sure.
Already can't wait for next season. :P
 
I need to go check on mine. The Hurricane caused the first few to explode into a mushy mess  of rotting yuck and wasps. But now the weather is dry and I need some good figs to eat! Yours look amazing and I'm jealous! lol
 
@"ktrain"#2 you're ripened fig look photogenically superb. @"9ah-figlet"#12 your 90 plus gram [font='Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Cavaliere easily reaches the gigantienormous size. With a photogenically explicit interior that was simply scrumptious looking. Congratulations to both of you for ripening such beautiful Cavaliere fig fruit.[/font]

@"ktrain"#2 Was this the [font='Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Cavaliere fig fruit that garnered 700 + views? You guys don't think that having @"ross raddi"#132 might have brought some additional attention to figfanatic over the last couple of days? Then again those Cavaliere fig fruits looked mighty tasty[/font]

Hope you get some, I may need to have two of this trees. :)
I feel very fortunate to have even gotten it with all the critter troubles. lol

@"Figless"#18   Thanks bud, I was very happy when I got home and it was still on the tree. lol
I had put it close to the house when I left for work, and it paid off.
Sad I will have to wait until next season for any more.
 
Thank you Kevin. For some reason I thought there were two versions of this fig. One by Baud and I thought there was another one maybe I'm just getting old lol 😆

That’s a good looking fig and a strong review. This one hadn’t even been on my radar…

It ripens around this time for us here in 7a in a pot but worth the headstart if you have the space. Too late for inground I think but haven't trialed it.
 
@"JMF75"#5 and @"ktrain"#2  here are my leaves.

Mine is the Baud version that I bought from Harvey. It is 2-yrs old and very productive. Figlets formed by 6/19, and I harvested the first one 9/7. It was uppotted from a 3-gallon to 8-gallon while dormant so it grew scaffolds, a good rootball, and produced huge figs in this season (has at least 25 left on the 6-ft tree). Pretty impressive in my book!

You know that's funny...before the main trunk died over the winter, it had leaves more like yours Nina, but when it grew back it started making spade leaves.
I will monitor it and see what it does next year.
The figs look pretty much the same except for the bit of darker color on mine.
 
@"9ah-figlet"#12 .OMG that is one gigantinormous fig, or you have really really tiny hands. Either way it looks beautiful congratulations you're knocking it out of the ballpark this year.
