Favorite Fig

[Kid Fig]

Rionon Santana of course!

It's a very good fig (tasting and looking) and it's the only seedling I've come across ever (so far); plus it has a distinguishing leaf pattern on some of the leaves where it will produce 2 little "horns" (one on each side) near the base of the central lobe.

I guess you would have to own it for it to be your favorite.
Right now my favorite female is still my old Celeste because of production and has never let me down.
Many better tasting figs. But taste and productivity are two different things.
Favorite males right now are UCD and FPTC but it would br different if in wasp land.

Ohh I have a (or actually 2, but in the same pot) UCD caprifig that I rooted last year and they’re starting to wake up!
Supposed to have edible main crop - is that the case? If so, what’s it like?

You wouldn’t really HAVE to own it lol. Could be your parents or something idk. I’m pretty partial to my dad’s Celeste too. Huge tree with way too many figs lol.

Can you really ever have too many figs? Lol If there are, I will pay you to freeze and ship to me!

Nero di Rocca....

Nero di Rocca - Air Layer

Fantastic variety from the Italy. It is a common variety and ripens superb figs that are very dense and thick and sweet with a moderate berry flavor. This is still very rare and it is one that deserves to be spread around. This is an air layerfrom last fall that is ready to be up potted. Due to...

It’s a lot of figs lol. We pick huge bowls every weekend. Still he turns some to jam and stuff. He schwacked it pretty good this year, so we shall see how that goes.

Out of curiosity, what color and flavor do the figs have?

Favorite fig I’ve tasted was a marseille black VS. We let it hang ripening until the skin around the neck shrunk a little… it was perfect! Tasted very berry(some said raspberry flavored) and texture was great!
Sadly don’t have that one currently… downsized from a move I’m working on some cuttings though… I’m sure I’ll be able to trade for it eventually… the fig community is the most generous for sure!

What other herbs plants did he smuggle back?

Here are pictures of the mature one that fruits. The other one is brown skin/red flesh (I think):

looks interesting....tight eye too? If your willing to part with some cuttings of them at some point, I'd be honored.

Yes tight eye. It has dropped breba here in the last 2 years but those were young plants. I've got one in a 25g pot and one in the ground to see if the breba hold this year.

Yeah I'll hopefully have cuttings this winter =)

I'M SORRY! =)

I decided to name it after my dad - I'm gonna call it "Mehdi's Famous Fig" and then everyone will just say MFF because I like abbreviations
