I actually picked this last week, but just finally managed to get the pics off my camera. I was pretty impressed by the flavor. It wasn't quite as sweet as the Ronde de Bordeaux or Sicilian Black figs I tried earlier, but the berry flavor was distinct. I wish I had more. Unfortunately, quantity will need to wait until next seasons since this is a first year tree. I hope I get one ripening at the same time as my Hardy Chicago so I can compare. I vaguely remember my HC having a berry taste last season.

Even though I have not had its fruit, this variety has a special place for me. First one I rooted last year, vigorous healthy grower. One of these might try to take on a winter out this year, with a backup inside.You may only view thumbnails in this gallery. This gallery has 2 photos.2 PhotosJesse in western Maine, zone 4/5

Good job on 1st year tree. Based on what others say about older trees yielding better tasting figs yours should get better.
My 1st year into figs. Several cuttings of mbvs rooted easily for me. They are now grow vigorously in partial shade even with 9 days triple digits. Hopefully next year i will enjoy eating a couple of these.Jerry, Canyon Lake TX 8b
