    by

    A very interesting fig (from Richard Boni.) It seems to get its name from the appearance of the fig. It looks like a small banana variety (ie. burro bananas). It doesn’t have a banana flavor so far, but it has a nice thick texture to the skin that I really liked.

    The main hardy kiwi variety that I have growing.  A few of my vines of this are 17 years old.  It produces excellent berries, and is easily cold hardy to my zone.  I have never protected it at all.  (It does need a pollinator, such as meader male)

    One of the more interesting and odd looking figs I grow.  It definitely stands out with its odd squat, almost squished shape.  Very good tasting and meaty when ripe.  The bark of the tree gets that knobby look that I really like.

    by

    Bordisot Negra Rimada is a variety with both striped wood and striped figs.  They are some of the prettiest figs out there.  They start out with lighter colored stripes, that darken as it ripens. The interior looks similar to black madeira, and also tastes great.

    Very good honey fig, refreshing and sweet interior. It has been mid size to small, and yellow or a bit green on the outside. This is a Nikki variety (This one has been tough for me to confirm, because of the limited pictures out there)

    by

    Burgan UNK is definitely an interesting fig.  It often has a crackling skin pattern, and can be very good looking.  Based on the way it looks, the distinct melon flavor that I get from it at times can be surprising.  They also are usually pretty round especially at the bottom

    This one is an awesome fig.  Beautiful as it ripens.  It starts out not striped , then develops stripes as the fig grows, and finally blends in to a darker fig with the stripes fading a bit as it becomes ripe.  Taste and interior of the fig was also up there with some of the…

    One of the best varieties for Breba figs, which is what is grown for outside of waspland.  It is probably my only fig tree that will always give me several dozens of breba, which kick off fig season several weeks before any other variety begins to ripen

    From a local grower in Earleville Maryland.  It is an italian variety that produces great tasting figs if you really let them hang until the skin is very soft. They are small to medium size, and often have that long stem lolipop shape.  They are light colored yellow/green honey figs with a juicy pinkish interior…
