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.

Have you tried Hollier? It seems to be productive in less than ideal conditions
 
This years adds are:

Sal's Pride
Violet de Bordeaux
Pellegrino
Borda Barraquer
Constantine de Algerie

This will be the last adds for a while. I'm at my time limit, that can be devoted to my figs for the time being. Maybe add a few in the future

The one you gave me is starting to grow out nice now. If it's slow for me too maybe I'll stick it on a root stock. I haven't heard a negative word about this fig so I'm looking forward to it. Is there a rootstock you prefer for vigour?

Desert king would be the best. I grafted all my graft on my desert king.

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.

Do I need to consider when my caprifig would have developed pollen relative to my other female figs? This is truly another world

What date is that frolic? I do not see it on the calendar. Trying to figure out something. :)
 
This year I got a cutting straight from Italy, Sora, Lazio. My nephew went for a trip to see family he told me they had a mother tree on the property lol 😂 I told him to break the branch wrap it with wet paper towel in a zip lock. Next thing you know a month later I rooted it and now I’m currently growing it in my grow tent. Hopefully 🤞 it’s a good one. Let me see if he took a photo of the fig I think he did. It looked great light green pink interior. I looked up what fig varieties are in Lazio it has to be one of these varieties. Hope it’s not the 5th varieties cause I already have it lol.

1. Fico Bianco del Cilento
2. Fico Nero di Cosenza
3. Dottato
4. Fico Brogiotto Nero
5. Fico Brogiotto Bianco
6. San Pietro (Fico di San Pietro)
7. Verdino
8. Fico Fiorone
