    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.

  • Col de Dame Gegantina ( CDD Gegantina )

    This one seems like a cross between an adriatic fig and a CDD. It is a new fig to me this year, and I look forward to getting some really good ones next year.

    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 more popular cold hardy varieties grown in the south.  A sugar fig that handles rain well.

    Consistently one of my favorite figs.  Often has a deep pool of fig honey in the center.  Such a great flavor.  It has similarities to Smith, but usually seems different to me.  It often contains more of the fig honey on the inside where Smith will often spill out through the ostiole.  Mine is usually…

    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.

  • Cilegia Dolce

    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)

  • Conde

    Conde has been a heavy producer, and the figs do well hanging on the tree without splitting. It seems to have some similarities to Mt. etna types, while being somewhat different.

    An awesome Montserrat Pons fig that has a yellowish exterior, and a deep red honey filled interior.  One of the best figs in terms of flavor.

  • Craven’s Craving

    by

    Very good tasting fig, similar to black madeira, but seems more productive so far. Possibly a bit larger, but not sure as they are the first few figs I have had off of Craven’s Craving.  It was found by “Padsfan” in San Diego CA and is a Portuguese variety.

  • Crozes

    Crozes

    —

    by

    Crozes is a great fig and prolific producer that is small to medium size. It needs to be left to ripen very dark to get its best flavor. It can be similar to the Mt etnas, but seems to consistently ripen better (darker) and more out to the edges of the fig. One of my…

    This one has been one of my favorite figs for the past few years.  It has an incredible taste and good rain performance. It has a bit of the acidity that most of my favorite figs have.

    Always one of my favorite varieties.  Early season, and has a bit of a fruit punch like flavor mixed in.  It is also a heavy producer of some of my favorite unique figs to eat (a fig from Monserrat Pons’ collection)

    An excellent large fruity flavored fig. It is one of the best tasting with a large squat shape, and driping with fig honey. It has a unique large red eye that didn’t seem to split for me at all this year.

    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

    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 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…

    A California seedling (from Bluemalibu). The figs I had were representative of its later season figs, with a jelly like interior and a circular shape with a thick but soft exterior.  It is an interesting variety that can have very different looking figs at other times of the year.

    My first year with figoin, I would have said that it was over rated.  The past 2 years it became very productive for me, and put out multiple crops of excellent tasting soft berry figs, and is now one of my favorite and most consistent varieties.  Its ability to hold up and not spoil on…

    A California seedling from (Lopresti on Ourfigs).  It may be common, or it may need caprification,  so buy at your own risk outside of waspland.  Lopresti has some updates on it on the Ourfigs forum if you are interested.  The picture here is courtesy of Lopresti, and is an example of what the figs look…
