Help suggest new varieties for us to add to the Figaholics collection

[Figaholics]

For the past few years I've added very few new fig varieties since my goal was to slow down and work towards retirement. However, with Robert now leasing our farm with intentions to purchase it later, we want to add more fig varieties. Linda and I will be assisting Robert and his family/crew run things and he's in agreement that I should buy cuttings of other varieties that we don't presently have listed on our website. Please help us decide which varieties we should add. Also, if you wish to sell cuttings of any of these to us, please email me at harveyc@gmail.com and provide some details on what makes the fig special. If you don't have cuttings available, I will search for them on figBid. Thanks for your help!

I think I seen a video of you talking about Aaron's Church Black capri but I don’t see that one listed. Any plans with that one?

We have sold it previously and will sell it again this year. It is listed towards the bottom under Caprigs section.

I have not tested it myself but, if I recall correctly, Brent on Ourfigs once told me that it was.

I have 3 varieties that I introduced. Fico Lucano, Zakythos Island Greek, and San Daniele. I have cuttings available of the first two and then I will have a rooted cuttings of San Daniel later in the season. Sadly I myself am all out of cuttings of San Daniele. I will upload pictures. I can give you a back story in the varieties later on if requested.

San Daniele - Italy

In the photo the biggest one I grew was 77grams but that one was a fluke I supposed haven’t had more that size but with a drip system next year we will see if I can harvest them at a larger size.

Zakynthos Island Greek - Greece
This one in the picture kinda split at the bottom because it had rained for 5 days straight.

Fico Lucano - Italy
This one was brought over from southern Italian in the Basilicata region.

Allix REDACTED.

I’m dying to get this one and love that it is so amazing, even here in PA 6b, where it’s humid, we have winters, and yet it produces a gorgeous and delicious fig even with no fig wasp.

There is an excellent review on ourfigs by EnigmaticFig:

I noticed on our wishlist spreadsheet Ondata and Vince #3 are popular requests for good reasons. I have not grown them or tasted them but I wish I had a climate like yours to grow them!

 

[DCallahan]

@Figaholics You should check over the current wishlist items, they are going to generally be the most in demand varieties at the moment. There's a current thread with most of them compiled in one place.

 

[snarfing]

Black Celeste at least seems like a no brainer add.

 

[Kompakfigs]

After hastily reviewing the figfanatic wishlist sheet the following varieties are listed on most of everyone's wishlist: Ondata, Cessac, Green Goblin, Black Celeste. Sicillan 33.
Adding Vince #3.

Ondata stupid good, Cessac great, green goblin I have yet to try and I have Vince#3 I will compare it against green goblin since they are both new & look to be the same types, black celest is a fantastic fig, Sicilian 33 super good until it got killed by hail a few years back…RIP s33 if no one has had Paradiso Siro then that is something that must be tried and let me know how you feel lol.

I’m a big fan of Adriatic figs so I’m always on the hunt. I want to hopefully find the one Adriatic to rule them all lol. I will note that. What makes it better in your opinion?
