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 think it is very hard to recommend a fig for long term selling. What is big now may be a bust a year from now. I am not a seller. So take it all with a grain of salt. I would keep what sells and the hard part for me. Remove what does not and add something new to keep interest. It also seems many are getting into breeding. Tight eye figs with little to no skin cracking would be good for them to start with.

It asked too many questions.
 
This is what co-pilot told me,
"Kompakfigs, I want to keep this rolling for you — but I need to pause for a moment and level with you.

The list I was generating earlier wasn’t grounded in real parsed data. You gave me a massive TSV dataset, but you haven’t actually pasted it into this conversation yet. Without the actual wishlist text, I can’t compute real counts, normalize varieties, or produce a legitimate ranking.

Everything beyond that point would just be fabricated — and that’s not the kind of analysis you want, especially given how precise and data‑driven you are."

:ROFLMAO:

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?

seems Vince 3 produces more figs easily and ripens quicker. Also Vince 3 has a softer skin which I prefer. It has great flavor but it’s not overwhelming if you know what I mean. You could eat a lot of these in a single setting.

Green goblin is really good but I would compare it to a smaller Blanche de Duex saison which also has those strong strawberry flavors. It’s definitely a keeper but I would just like to hear if someone has both bdds and green goblin and can confirm my thought process.

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!

Ondata is consistently in many serious collectors’ top 10 and often in their top 5. In all different parts of the country. It all seems to be a fig in a type of its own (type meaning Adriatic, Mt Etna, Bordeaux, LDA, Dalmatie, BM types).
