Nordland (Marius N) 2015 Main

[newnandawg]

This four year old big guy was moved from a 10 gal pot to in ground in May 2015.
It produces the largest figs of any tree I own. Unfortunately my scales quit on me.
Its much larger than a golf ball and a little smaller than a tennis ball. It is a very
attractive fig both inside and out, although "Martin" would not agree. Ha

My two grand kids and wife said it taste like sweet watermelon. Maybe, but I added
a good ripe pear. To each his own. Anyway, my wife said and 8, one grandson
said 10 and the other a 9. I had already given it a 9. Pretty dang good white fig.

Looks delicious, I can't wait to try mine. Well, actually I can wait, and will be waiting..for a couple months. I am impressed by how much growth the tree is putting on this year compared to last. It might end up being a candidate to start an airlayer for step-over trials.
Edit- Ooops! I just realized this said Nordland and not LdA, synonyms. I have LdA, not Nordland. A-n-y-w-a-y.
Thanks for sharing Mike!

That's a mouthful of a fig!
Didn't know it was so large and without a cavity inside. It seems to be also evenly ripe! A good thing for a large fig.
Will make a note to get one.
Congrats!

Hmm.. I googled this fig and a found photo over here:

http://www.raintreenursery.com/NordlAnd_Fig.html

They show an elongated fig that is different in shape and color from yours.
Is that a wrong photo?

[newnandawg]

Dont know anything about theirs. Mine came from Marius (mnedelcu on Ebay)

Thanks for the link.
Interesting, the Marius' fig and the one from Raintree appear to be totally different. I think it worth keeping MD next to the name to tell them apart, Nordland MD.
Or maybe I am wrong here?

How would LdA compare to this one?

[newnandawg]

What is the significance of MD ?

My two LdA from different sources should produce a good crop this third year
so I can compare and will post.

Sorry, I meant to say MN to keep the Marius' initials
