[Charlie]

Ross I honestly couldn't say right now. Perhaps next year I will get to have them together and be better at profiling flavors. Thanks for the comments both of you.

[Zuny]

Those are great pictures Charlie. I really like how the Madeline unk yellow looks.

[Charlie]

Zuny thanks. That is a really, really good fig, even from my young tree. About half the size they get on the mother tree, like tennis balls almost.

3 of my favorites

[don_sanders]

Lampeira Prusch, Pastilliere, Ischia Black UCD

Three figs I'd love to try one day.

[LouNeo]

I LOVE the looks of the first one. Its got a great color to it!

[figgary]

Don, you are correct. Dan, these 3 do well here in our area, though the Ischia Black is a slow grower.

Didn't you bring some to sample at the fig fest on LSU open field day two years ago?

[Fygmalion]

Nice.... Wish I had some for breakfast this morning!

[Wisner]

Thanks, I was at the field day, but didn't bring any figs

[Chrisk]

Sorry my bad, someone did bring a large bowl full but I met so many new friend that day ,...it was overwhelming trying to put faces and names together. I have a pic somewhere .

[Sarahkt]

The Desert King main crop (bottom row second from left) was the best of this bunch.

[Dave]

[Dave]

[Taverna78]

A squeezed JH.

[Zuny]

Looks great even squished like that.

[Dave]

Mike thats my wife's favorite

[Taverna78]

I wanted to eat it so bad but it was sprayed with miticide and I didn't have time to go wash off. It was the last one of the season. I didn't think I'd be that ripe in the cold it was in. Tis year I'm waking them all up early so I'll be above to try many many figs tis season!

[figgysid1]

Here are a few. Preto, Preto, Preto, Preto, Preto and LSU Purple...

[Sarahkt]

Those look... amazing. Nice pics!

[Chrisk]

Wow Sid . I know everyone is for the Preto and it does look truly amazing but that purple is da bomb!!! I have a few of those and I know that when you get that combo of colors on the pulp is when they taste the best!!!
Cool stuff, thanks for sharing!!!

[ross]

Nevermind the Preto.. That LSU Purple looks the best I've ever seen it. Oh I wish I had the amount of heat you get.

[Dave]

i258

[Sarahkt]

Great photo! This variety is one of my favorites.

[Dave]

Mike your going to love it One of my favorites

[grant441]

Cyprus strawberry

[Dave]

Hopefully this year Grant I'll be enjoying the CS great looking fig

[CliffH]

Still working on being sure about the ID for this one. The tree came with our house.

[Fygmalion]

Woohoo... A keeper....

[CliffH]

I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to tasting figs. But these seem to take a lot of heat to develop the best flavor. They are a sugar fig, with a rich light brown sugar or caramel flavor when fully ripe. Without the high temps (earlier in the year) their taste was sweet, but not that rich. This might be because the tree is growing in a fairly shady spot. It ripens right after Celeste.

[ross]

You should try that bad boy in a container, Cliff or even in a sunnier spot!

[Dave]

Are these the pictures you wanted to see Tony?

[Dave]

Mike yours is coming in the Spring Don't think I forgot you Sweetheart!

[Sarahkt]

Such a beautiful fig. *Sigh*

[Sarahkt]

I have a small one and was hoping to get two figs off it in its first year. The frosts hit the tree just as the figs were starting to turn color!
