I'm really excited about Pellegrino. I saw some incredible reviews and pictures of it. Haven't gotten fruit yet though.
Capri Q has a good tasting fig. But my favorite right now. As far as no wasp. Is FPTC. Very good pollen.
I think I'd be looking at it more for pollen production. But now you bring up Capri Q..... crap! I think I need both now.
Vito was kind enough to hook me up with it. I'm pretty excited about it as well. Currently it's a house plant. I want to put some size on it before spring
Do you have trees that produce breba? Growing a Capri is like growing a female tree that has a breba crop. Your breba in this case your profichi should push out way before your main crop.
I’ve never really grown for Breba. I keep a few here and there but I suppose I can let some hang. Can pollen be stored viably?
Yeah I have the problem of not getting rid of any. I must ask why Lompoc? I do have that one. Not very well taken care of as other trees are priority. Pushed out a ton of figs this year. But not one ripened for me. Young tree tho.
Ouriola is a vigorous grower I’m glad to hear it arrived quickly
It came as a well regarded honey fig from a friend. Fig gazer speaks highly of it as well. It wasn't on my radar but sounds like it has potential so figured why not give it a whirl. If it's not my cup of tea I have a local friend the loves honey figs so it'll have a good home regardless.
I've always thought honey figs need a warmer climate to be really good. I grow some here but they're just, "good". The ones I eat in Italy are on a different level... not to mention (largely) caprified. I assume the ones that grow in the southern US are pretty awesome. I've had some California honey figs that were pretty great.
