    5 Terre A (named after Chinque Terre) was a great suprise for me this year. I didn’t know what to expect and it was really good. Green exterior that can take on some red coloration as it ripens. Deep red interior and very good flavor. It often has a somewhat elongated shape

  • Angelito

    This is one of the best Adriatic fig varieties.  It is possibly my largest adriatic variety, and both a great grower and producer with awesome flavor.

  • Atreano

    Atreano

    —

    by

    Atreano is one of my most prolific honey figs. It produces a bunch of very large figs that have a bit of pink and oragne/red to the interior. They need to be very ripe and hanging off to get their best taste. They almost have a buttery quality to them.

    Bakor is a new fig to me, and I have only had a few. The ones I had were very sugary sweet. Yellow inside with a dark exterior with some purple in it.

  • Banana Fig (R.boni)

    Banana Fig (R.boni)

    —

    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.

  • Barran

    by

    Barran is a heavy producer with a dark exterior and deep red interior. It has some similarities to Mt. Etna types, but seems somewhat different to me.

    A great very large fig with excellent raspberry flavor, and a good seed crunch. (similar to Calderona de Miner)

  • Anna Hardy Kiwi

    Anna Hardy Kiwi

    by

    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)

  • Black Algiers

    A large and interesting looking fig.  I don’t have a lot of experience with it yet (just a few figs), as it was new to me this year.  Looking forward to seeing what it is like next year

  • Black Madeira KK

    by

    One of the best tasting figs out there.  Dark outside, deep red honey filled inside.  Only for growing in a pot in my area, because it can be relatively late.

  • Black Tuscan

    Black Tuscan

    by

    A very good black madeira type, with excellent flavor. All of my black Tuscans are very productive, and seem to have more of an hourglass shape than my Black Madeiras, with a small void in the middle.

  • Black Zadar

    Black Zadar

    —

    by

    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.

  • Blackbird Mulberry

    Goji berries reproduce relatively easily through cuttings.  It is a spiky plant that seems to prefer the cooler seasons, (spring and fall).  It puts out small red edible berries.  It is also cold tolerant to well below zero degrees

    BNR (Bordisot Negra Rimada)

    —

    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.

  • Borda Barraquer

    Borda Barraquer

    —

    by

    One of my favorite new varieties to me.  It consistently puts out beautiful figs with a deep pool of honey and a purple tint to the interior.  The plant grows very well for me also.

    Very good berry flavor, and an exterior with lighter and darker tones to it. Similar to something like BNR or BMKK on the inside

  • Boreale

    Boreale

    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)

    Bourjasotte Grise

  • Burgan UNK

    Burgan UNK

    —

    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

  • Calderona de Miner

    One of my favorite large figs, that gets a nice crackling pattern to the exterior. Great flavor, and seems similar in size and shape to Bass’s Favorite. (A Montserrat Pons variety)

  • Campaniere

    Campaniere

    An excellent early fig.  To me this one has some characteristics of both honey and berry figs.  It is a red pulp, but lighter than those fully dark red interior figs.

    One of my favorites this year.  I got a bunch of medium to large awesome figs dripping with honey.  Great flavor, consistency, and size. (reportedly a hivernenca type)

    This one is named for the neighbor I got the cutting from.  She had this fig tree in front of her house for probably 20 years.  She said it was an Italian variety. It is an interesting fig that gets a lot of crackling to the fig and has a lighter peach like flavor (a…
