I just found out about San Francois and it is now my number one must have fig.

Tell us more about it. Is it a late ripening fig? Is it a vigorous grower or slow? Taste? And most importantly, will you have cuttings available for trade?

There's not much information out there about this fig. I found out about it in a newsletter called The Fig Jam. According to the newsletter, it is one of the favourite figs of a fig collector with over 1000 varieties of figs in his collection. So far, this is all I have on it: a medium-sized, green exterior with a slight purplish colouration and full of syrup inside. Medium sweet with light berry flavour. Frankly, I wouldn't care about the taste or how it looks. I just wanted to have it because of the name. It is currently on my wish list. I hope I can acquire it someday. Once I get it, I will share it around. I recommend you sign up for The Fig Jam. It is a great read and a wealth of information.

Wow all y'all have such great list unfortunately a lot of similar taste too. I know some of these will appear on the member giveaway this dormancy. Also the super generous one @Fig Gazer has some of these varieties available for you 505h jumps to mind.

[TorontoJoe]

So far, not so great. I'm hoping that will get better though because cutting season just started. How is your search coming?

I imagine you’re going to see a lot of your wish list available pretty soon

1. Black Madeira
2. Schar Isreal
3. A CdD (any with the thickness I keep hearing about)

I know, I keep hearing about the cake like texture, and I can’t quite imagine what that’s like since I haven’t tasted a CdD yet either.

Plus, when I see figs that have a thicker white syconium, that doesn’t look good tasting (to me).
Is it?

I love the thicker textured figs as the flesh really coats the inside of your mouth and causes the flavor to persist for longer. This year CdD Blanc and Gegantina were my favorites.
