What is your favorite fig?

[figologist]

It doesn't matter the reason. I want to know, unconditionally, what is the one fig you would want if you had to have only one?

VdB productive, thin-skinned, doesn’t split, bordeaux taste, great for jam.

I have always said my Celeste since it is very productive and does well here.
But it is also my only inground tree. And now it has a few varieties grafted to it.
Does a frankenfig count?

Ok ok. Still my celeste at this time. As it is not my favorite as for as flavor or size. But it has never let me down.

What about the Caprifig's to pollinate said figs?

 

[bushdoctor82]

All around favorite is my family Etna type fig. It’s not the sweetest, largest or most complex, but it’s reliable, productive, no fuss and the one I’ve been eating my entire life.
