This tree is an air layer from my mother tree last summer and was placed
in ground this spring. It has really grown and producing some nice figs.
This fig is much larger than the figs from my mother tree last summer.
The flavor was of a rich Merlot Grape, which would translate into
black cherry, plum and dark berries. The texture was perfectly firm
with no seed crunch. The skin was on the thick side but not chewy.
We gave it an 8 on a 1-10 and that is outstanding for the first fig
from a first year tree. As a side note, the mother tree died back to the
ground this past winter. It is now a five foot tall bush that has a good
many figs that should ripen before the first frost in October.
