Anyone growing this one?
Neat shape to the figs.
Haven't tried it yet so looking forward to it.

Had to look it up. Sounds and looks good.

Yeah I'm pretty pumped to try it, last year didn't get anything but it was still pretty small.

I grew it, but never really got to try it. I got one just plain sugar tasting fig and a bunch fell off. Then when I was gonna get a nice crop the BFF showed up and laughed in my face as they destroyed all of them. It was a good grower for me.

Well that just sucks man, I'm hoping it proves to be a good grower here, so far so good and it has a hand full of figs.
Time will tell.

I got mine from Wills, it could have been different from Brian's, but I shared some photos with him and he thought they were the same.

Yeah, I was waiting for that fig for a while hahaha damn fly...I think I sent a cutting or two to Giuseppe.

Mine actually came from @2Angels ...not sure where she got it.
I just snip Brian's description for people.

 

[ktrain]

So are you growing this one @TorontoJoe ?

 

[TorontoJoe]

Brian sent me a likely caprified Mattepinta to try. Not sure that I took any notes on my impressions, but I did order a cutting. It was killed by the 2022 Arctic Blast.
