This was my second variety to produce figs this year (first was Celeste). I was super excited to taste this fig because it looked great, but the taste was bland. I would give it a 5 out of 10. I have heard others rave about this variety, so I am not sure what is going on here.
It is summertime in Florida and we get rain, but the rain lately has not been excessive (as it can sometimes be).
This plant is young, so maybe that is the issue (about 1.5 years old). But my Celeste is the same age and has produced far superior figs.
I have a few more on this tree that are about to ripen, so I will see if this was a fluke. I will try and let the others get really wrinkly.
But if I get some great figs from my other young plants, and this Malta Black remains bland, it might be up for grabs.
