    One of the best varieties.  It produces a very round medium size fig that gets dark with a grayish color to the skin.  It is not a fast grower, so I often don’t have a lot of cuttings available.

    An excellent honey fig that is also very productive.  For me it has loaded up with figs even when in more shade than any fig tree would like.

  • HSK UNK

    HSK UNK is a California fig find from (Figology on Ourfigs).  It has done very well for me in the 2 years I have had it.  It has some similarities to adriatics, but usually looks a bit different for me, and has in its 1st 2 years been earlier than most.

    A larger more elongated celeste offshoot.  Another good candidate for inground, as it is pretty early.  I prefer its flavor to celeste also.

    Iranian Candy (aka Raasti) is great early honey fig variety, with a very refreshing taste.  This was picked in the 2023 season as the favorite by my wife and kids.

    An interesting variety.  It seems to be a slower grower than most, but what it lacks in vigor, it makes up for in a will to put out fruit.  In my yard this tree is almost a dwarf variety, and probably puts out the most figs for its size, often pretty loaded with figs.  They…

    This is a medium-large sized honey fig, discovered by Aaron Delmanto (from NJFigs). My first few figs off this were nothing special, but the ones after that were extremely sweet, maybe almost too much for me.  Promising for future years

    La Bourgeoise has been very good for me, and seems to be year after year.  It is definitely one of the better, more underrated varieties.  I have also gotten it to produce great figs in both high and low light conditions.

    A very good fig from the collection of Mario Dinatale. Great berry flavor, and medium sized. So far it has some similarities to something like Figo Preto to me.

  • Mario’s Pelligrino

    by

    Mario’s Pelligrino is an excellent fig.  It is similar to LDA, but seems like it might be a little smaller of a fig, and possibly a bit stronger tasting.  It also has resisted splitting for me better than LDA
