Smith 2015 Main

[newnandawg]

This is a fourth year tree that was placed in ground in 2013 and was killed
to the ground last winter. It has responded and is now about six feet tall
will numerous figs to ripen.

This fig is one of the best tasting if not the best tasting green fig in
my collection. It is perfectly sweet with a strong berry, maybe strawberry
flavor. My wife and I both gave this first fig of the year from this
tree a 9 on a 1-10.

Looks great Mike, got this one on my wishlist for next season.
I hear lots of people raving about it's taste.

[newnandawg]

Rob, maybe I could bring you one next spring?

[Rob Ster 010]

I appreciate the offer Mike but if all goes well i'll get a few cuttings from another fig friend this fall.
If not i will definitely let you know!

Smith is one of the cuttings I have in the cups as of 7/30. She's already showing some roots on the side and some lovely foliage. Looking forward to seeing (and tasting) what it produces next summer.

Glad you had luck with it!

Thanks for sharing Mike it sure looks good..

[Hershell]

I just can't understand how some people can let there figs get perfectly ripe before pitching them. Oh my birds would have a field day at your house. Beautiful Mike, just beautiful.

Mike the berry flavor is spot on. No fig flavor really just an intense berry flavor

[Taverna78]

😳 I need tis! Or next year they have fruit at trader joe no tree😂

[Tonycm]

I was never interested in getting a Smith fig but the more I hear about it, the more I want it.
Nice dark red center with an intense flavor. What more could you want?
I thought I was done adding new figs, now I have to add ONE more to my wish list.

[zone5figger]

Keep them coming, Mike!

Looks great. Would you be able to compare the Smith taste to a JH Adriatic or Battaglia Green type fig?

[newnandawg]

Maybe in a week or so I can.

That plus each fig gets an organza bag to keep out insects.

Thanks for impressive review. This is going onto my wish list too.

[newnandawg]

I just had to add one more comment after tasting another one. This fig is absolutely
fantastic. It was almost like eating a tablespoon of Smukers Strawberry Preserves. LOL

[rusty hooks]

mine are still green....as I stand out there watching it...and telling it that "Mike says you're going to be great"...don't let me down....

I can't wait

[newnandawg]

Just don't be to anxious and pick it to soon. Let it get really ugly. LOL

[rusty hooks]

I'll follow suit Mike....the more wrinkles the better

Mike, nice report! Can't wait till my smith ripens.
