Today's fruit plates were delicious and totally not from my trees. I went to visit bigbill today to pick up paw paws, and managed to leave with some figs and jujubes. Somehow, both times I've visited Bill, I've managed to leave with more than I intended to pick up.
Quick impressions:
Scott's Black - Nice sweetness and berry flavor. Despite being fairly tasty, it was overshadowed by the Lyndhurst White and Adriatic JH.
Lyndhurst White - I was surprised at how tasty this was. There was an acidic berry bite on the first taste, and then the sweetness hit. I'm glad I have a tree started and can look forward to some fruit next year.
Adriatic JH - The dark red interior is beautiful. The flavor had distinct berry flavor and was quite sweet. This is another winner I'm looking forward to when my trees start bearing.
Qalaat al Madiq - From the color of the pulp, I was expecting a deep honey flavor. The flavor was kind of mild though. I suspect I got the outlier considering how highly others rate it. Either that or the Lyndhurst White and Adriatic JH dulled my taste buds since I had those first.
Chiappetta - Not pictured. This one actually got smashed due to the bag being poorly located (i.e. dropped in a walking path zone in a rush to get the children into the house and fed). I had to do my duty and eat the poor fig before I could take a photo. Anyhow, the flavor was unique on this one. It had a tart berry taste balanced by a moderate sweetness. There was some other background earthy note I couldn't place.
