    Santa Claus Lane is an interesting California seedling discovery (found by Eric Durtchi)  I got my first few figs this year, and they were surprisingly good.  Look forward to many more from this one.

    One of the most popular fig varieties overall.  When ripe, it gets very soft and extremely syrupy.  For me, it is very productive when in full sun, but not a good choice for lower light locations.  It is a very sweet berry fig.

    Large fig, cool leaf pattern (most likely a magnolia type).  It can be very large and a cauldron like shape, but it is on that often gives me problems when ripening.  It has an interesting story behind it in the town of Hershey PA (look up: “Hershey’s famous fig”)

    A good size green fig, that is a very fast growing plant. While it looks like an adriatic fig, it definitely has a different taste in ther with it. This one is a California seedling.

    One of my favorite overall for taste this year. It was pretty late and I did get just a few, but they had a great berry flavor with a bit of a bite/acidity to it. (a variety in the Montserrat Pons collection)

    A great dark berry fig that ripens with a purplish color inside.  It is one of the best price/taste varieties.  VDB has long fingered leaves, and the figs darken a while before they are fully ripe.  Do not pick them as soon as they turn dark, but wait until the neck is soft to get…

    This one was one of my most consistent producers this year. It gave me figs from August 7th until mid November. Great fig, that looks a bit like a smaller longer adriatic, with a little lighter color inside.

    Excellent good sized adriatic fig.  It seems to resist splitting well, and get really soft without spoiling.  Great flavor!

    Possibly my favorite fig of them all.  Always an awesome complex fig, with a dark red interior (an adriatic fig).  It has a great complex berry taste that replaces some of the extra sweetness of some other adriatic varieties
