I planted an unknown Calabrian fig tree about 5 or 6 years ago. The tree died to the ground every year but would grow about 6 feet tall and still ripened a good amount of figs. The problem was they were very bland to the point that nobody would eat them. The only reason I didn't dig it up was because it has too big of a root system and I didn't feel like tackling that job.
Well I'm glad I didn't dig it up and get rid of it because this year the figs are surprisingly good. I've been eating them fresh and cooked some stuffed with cheese and even dipped a few in chocolate. I'm hoping this isn't a freak occurrence and they don't revert back to the insipid figs they were. Looks like for now the tree got a pardon from being dug up and thrown over the hill.
The figs are not as yellow as they look in the picture.
