Lets talk about "under" hyped varieties

[betdempster]

I think Big Bill said that the wood on EBT types have blotchy look or sth like that. Is it like that on your Olympian?

No really I don't think but it's still pretty young so hard to tell what it will look like when more mature and only had two figs and one was a squirrel treat. So for this one I just put it in an organza bag and the squirrel would have to learn to unzip my green house to get it so we'll see. I'll send pics if I can get it to ripen... @ETXfigs I get what you're saying about the types. Maybe that's what I read.

Yes, exactly like that.

I'm not really sure if they are exactly the same. I have read that Olympian is a synonym of EBT, but there are other varieties that are EBT "types".

Yes, exactly like that.

yeah, when I received the cuttings, I thought it has serious mold growing on them

 

[ETXfigs]

Is Bakor an underhyped fig? Is it any good? From the pics I've seen and descriptions I've read, it's one of the varieties I'm most excited about growing.

Naples black looks really really good. I have never heard of it before. Gonna have to add that one to the list
