My first Longue D' Aout

[PBfigs]

Another fig making the top of my growing list. LD'A is a large, beautiful long fig with a sweet, thick jammy berry flavor. It should be on everyone's WL.

Impressive! Peter, what does WL mean?

Light berry and meaty texture

Not sure if you get LDA. Both leaf shape and fruit do not like typical LDA.

[oat]

Leaf shape is not reliable. The fruit is caprified I think.

[Red_Sun]

So if I post another fig and say it is LDA, folks would ay leaf shape and fruit color and shape won't matter?

[oat]

All I’m trying to say is that the leaf is not too far out of the ordinary shape. The fruit might have developed more because of the wasps so it’s less elongated. To be honest I have seen a more rounded LdA from growers that don’t even have the wasps.

My LDA main from 2020.

Great fig! Perfectly ripened, too.

[ IMO, there's no doubt it's LdA. Often you see pictures of the fruit that are greener, like your picture on the left. The fig on the right is the rich brown that you get with a well ripened LdA exposed to sunshine. ]

For newbies, the variety Nordland is almost certainly a synonym. There're a half dozen other names as well. It's early enough to do well in the north.
