Des Roig Manyo 2021

[SubmarinePete]

I'm trying this variety for the first time this year. I think I picked this one up based on Harvey's description of the fig, because I looked back through previous postings on this variety, and I'm not seeing a lot of praise for this variety. I'm also confused by Pons' description of the taste as bland. That wasn't my experience at all. Mine tastes a lot like Harvey describes, which is a very sweet flavor with some berry. I'd compare it most closely with the taste of LSU Tiger. A very good fig!

That definitely looks good. I like the gradient color yellow green to purple to olive.

Last year I let it dry on the tree and it tasted very sweet and chewy. It was like eating a gummy jelly candy. I plan to do the same this year.

[SubmarinePete]

Yes. Very sweet with chewy skin. I’m glad others are getting the same characteristics. I didn’t let the pulp gel but I might try that

I grafted 5 cuttings onto an in ground Big Celeste and all are growing well but won’t get figs this year. Gonna look forward tasting the variety next year after seeing this thread!

Hello SubmarinePete.
I recently acquired Des Roig Manyo cuttings and they’ve just begun to root. I was wondering if your tree exhibits red petioles?

[SubmarinePete]

I can’t remember—sorry
