What is your favorite fig?

[Figgin' A]

My all-around favorite (taste, vigor, earliness, productivity, rain resistance, pest resistance, etc.) is VDB.

TBD, while greatly enjoying the journey

Not to mention very easy to find and cheap to buy. I recently culled mine that wasn't producing well. I may hit you up for a twig at some point

 

[Figgin' A]

Sure thing.

Sure thing.

That's so hot!

I still have to stick with WM#1, it's both productive and tasty.

And not really a late one here.

But Smith is up there too. lol

I forgot VdB’s decent sized and tasty breba that are ready in early July here.

Portugal 80

Paratjal Rimada and Bourjasotte Grise. Your question fried parts of my brain and it seems I can't count correctly any more.

 

[Figless]

@figologist I am a first year, and one month grower with at least 200 varieties going. It's just not a question that I can answer.

Unk Prosciutto, ripens well in cooler temperatures, tastes great and when dehydrated it's on the next level.

GEEZ - So in this scenario do we have to destroy the rest of our collection?!

I would have to pick Rionon Santana because it's up there and although even I wouldn't rank it as the best of the best it was my find.

I'll just go over here by the destroyed fig pile and grab some cutti.... I mean sticks for... a...

barbecue!

What's the ripening time on that one for you?

 

[Kid Fig]

Sure thing.

DAMN - that's a high quality fig pic!

An unscrupulous figger would market it as a new variety named Burgundy Blast from Figs du Pons!

UP is definitely on my short list. Such a great fig! Not many figs ripen so well late in the season

I thought the scenario was you pick one and then send me the rest?

And no worries…. I already have RS

BMSUCKLP RARE FIG = BLACK MADERA PLUS 4 OTHERS ! HEY did some one mention CHEATING ?

Of course.

I'll just be sure to send you all the wood minus those pesky 1 node chunks since it's common knowledge that one can't do anything with that.

By the way - I've been looking for a really cool knife to add to my collection.

Would you happen to know of one that looks like a grafting knife but isn't for grafting?

Love my UP. I rank it higher than VDB tastewise, but some split for me occasionally, and wasps like it while they don't touch my VDB. It loves to grow tall quickly, which is a challenge in the grow tent, I can't tame it as well as my VDB tree.

It takes about 85-90 days to ripen. Last season I woke up my trees later than usual and I had fruit mid September so this year I'm anticipating beginning of September.
