I just got back from Myrtle Beach and had these ripe figs. They were a bit watery due to my dad watering them for the last week. He waters on the heavy side. I guess too much is better than not enough water..
They were still good. They have that nice berry flavor and always drip honey. Takes a few bites just to eat half of the fig.
I had few that were rotten on the ground and a few way over ripe. These big boys don't dehydrate on the tree.

They look fantastic, Art. I will be trying out a handful this fall for the first time.

[kubota1]

Thanks Frank. I think you will like them. This is one of my favorite large figs.

[cis4elk]

Looks awesome as usual Art. I can't wait to have some figs that good and large at the same time.

[WillsC]

Art,

That is the one with the long finger leaves?

[kubota1]

Yep

[quackmaster]

I wonder how much different the figs are, I have the one with out the long skinny leaves like stella. Vasile sent it to me last summer and I got one fig from it this season that was kind of small but really good flavor.

[F. Bennett]

Art,

How does it compare to JH Adriatic? Same level or is one much better?

[kubota1]

I think JH is better.

[Rafaelissimmo]

Large, meaty and really good. Way to go Art. Did this one come from Pete?

[kubota1]

Got it from Bass. I do need to get back and see Pete and you NY boys.

Looks like a winner Art!

[Chrisk]

Very nice figs. Congrats Art. Is is the same as Makedonia white ( not sure if it spells with a k or c) ?
So this is the one closer to the Dalmatie. Do you have both and do you have a favorite? Thanks again.

[kubota1]

Not sure if it's the same as Makedonia White. I only have this VS.
I'm pretty sure that it's the same fig as Stella. Ripening time, figs, and leaves are all about the same.

[Chrisk]

Thanks Art.

[newnandawg]

Art, very nice. Thanks for sharing.

[mountainfigs]

Nice haul. Bigger figs seem to suffer more from excess water than smaller figs. Pulp to skin ratio may be the issue.

[quackmaster]

That looks really good, Art!

I got one fig ripening on my little plant I got from AscPete earlier this year. Looking great

Dang that little bugger was picked way too early. I'll have a good one in a week or so!
