We got to taste a few more of these today, thanks to Ed's sharing. I let them hang slightly longer than the last couple and these were dripping honey. The flavors are difficult to describe. I got just a mild sweetness, but a very noticeable creaminess more than jammy or other texture. Very pleasant, soft skin and mild crunchiness.

Looks great Tony! Certainly looks ripe
Do you have other Mt Etna types to compare it to?Ed

Thanks Ed, I've tasted a few Sal's EL, an MBvs unk and a couple Brooklyn dk that I think are all Etna class. These were different, less dark berry more cinnamon honey, but I need to try a few more because these had to endure a lot of rain late in their ripening. I have a Chicago Hardy that hasn't ripened a fruit for 2 years yet.

So far the 1st year LSU Gold and 2nd year Smith have been amazing and I think my biggest surprises. I'm still hoping to get a few Figo Preto and GNaf later this year. I got to taste my 1st Celeste's and they're really nice and I've always liked BT. The 2nd year Florea are better than last year too, so it's not over yet.

Old Brooklyn is a unique fig in my orchard. Withstands drought and freezes better than nearly all others. A interesting taste with loads of fruit that often dries on the tree without falling off. Given to me as a gift and is quite a surprise.Northern CA 9b W L- Big Large Fruited Varieties and promising new findsComment
