Calvert is a nice fig That I never see much posted about. Very similar in taste to other green figs with the deep red center

There has been a flush of cultivars discussed recently that in the nearly three years I've been playing I've never heard of. Perhaps one day I will collect them all!Scott - Colorado Springs, CO - Zone 4/5 (Depending on the year) - Elevation 6266ft

How is Calvert different from Adriatic(JH) or Strawberry Verte? I seem to recall someone posting that it was late. Can those of you growing Calvert chime in in this?Ed

Ed,
It's very similar to those figs, which in my opinion makes it a very good fig, but if you are limited on space and already growing similar probably would not be a must have. Here are my 1st fig ripen dates from 2016 for Calvert and a couple similar figs, They are not not all same year in ground so just a rough estimate. Calvert and Bataglia green have been slower growing with less vigor than the other 2, and believe others have noted that on Calvert. I am not sure why on my Bataglia green, many seem to favor it. For me Adratic JH and Strawberry Verte are more productive and healthy trees.
