What's The Best Honey Fig?

[betdempster]

That's funny I really think I need a bunch to come ripe at the same time. I'm not going to be good at the "fig connoisseur" palate thing. I can tell berry from sweet but I have no idea about honey vs agave and sugar vs brown sugar etc. I'm gonna be one of those "yep I like that so it's a keeper" gals.

I have figs on peters honey, LSU gold, LSU hollier, and izbat an naj, and Mary lane ( which honestly doesn't look good- I don't think it likes my environment) and some very tiny fig bumps on barbellone and white Marseille which is late because it had to be nursed back to health. That's my honey decision making project for the year.

I'm presently trialing female figs claimed to be closed eye. A few of them are said to be honey type, including Corky's Honey, LSU Champagne, LSU Gold, and Peter's Honey. If these don't turn out well at my location over the next couple years, I'll then attempt to breed an improved honey fig with one of the non-berry honey type caprifigs I'm trialing; e.g. LSU DC-7 or Enderud. On a related note, thank you for providing a link to the syringe kit you're using. I need to prepare by practicing hand pollination.

Your very welcome.
