    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.  I haven’t gotten fruit of this one yet.  Carol used to visit her crab traps in a little dingy every few days,…

    A very attractive fig, with a deep red interior and a light exterior, and an excellent taste.  I am also a fan of the leaf pattern of most of the CDD varieties including this one.

    This one has been pretty different to the other Col De Dame varieties so far for me.   I am curious to see how it changes as the mother tree ages.

    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…

    Consistently one of my favorite figs.  Often has a deep pool of fig honey in the center.  Such a great flavor.  This year the squirrels discovered my Cessac tree, and they seem to share my opinion of it.  They repeatedly took every fig right as it was ripe, and I only got to eat 4…

    A crazy fast grower… it has dropped a lot of figs for me the first few years.  The fig has an interesting elongated shape.  It is more water hungry than most of my other figs.

    A mt. Etna type fig that has a little bit of an extra note of flavor in it sometimes described as cherry like.  This one has done very well for me in ground, especially this year (its 3rd in ground)

    This one surprised me this year with a bunch of very high quality small figs.  To me they share some characteristics with celeste, as well as a bit of a darker berry fig mixed in.

    From a local grower in Earleville Maryland.  It produces great tasting figs if you really let them hang until the skin is very soft.

    My first 2 years with figoin, I would have said that it was over rated.  This year it became very productive for me, and put out multiple crops of excellent tasting soft berry figs.  The first year the figs were in the range of tiny.  By year 3 they are just somewhere between small and…
