grasshopper:

Do you have any research paper(s)/trials that suggest evidence to the contrary of their claims?

I’m in total agreement with the results of that paper and those that reference it in Science Citations. To find out why that paper is consistent with what I’ve been stating you’ll need to be patient and start communicating with the folks at Davis.

That’s lots of fig, Tony!

My family loved them. I eat a few every day. So sweet and good. Somehow I found the dark varieties tasted richer.

Capol Curt Negra from a one year old potted plant. Sweet and jammy.
Looking forward to getting this one in the ground.

Can anyone identify? The storm blew it off so it’s not totally ripe yet

I think it’s a fig, but someone seems to have cut it in half.

Tip your waitress…

Seriously, no idea.

This is an unknown fig I got labeled as being from Chios Greek.

Open or closed eye?

Awesome Ray. When do you foresee this one ripening? Mid season?

rayrose · 2017-09-12T01:55:33.282Z

I picked these last week.

Noire de Barbentane. Two year old in ground tree that gets REALLY big
and fast too, so give it lots of room. The figs are plentiful and delicious
and hold up really well in rainy conditions. Just picked these after Irma
dumped 4 inches of rain.

Very nice! Looks like a fig I’d love.

Noire de Barbentane is very similar to Violette de Sollies except it ripens earlier. I have a small graft that didn’t grow much, hope it grows next year better.

A favorite variety, Ronde de Bordeaux is ripening up some very delicious figs. With some warm dry weather, we should be getting a few bowls full this weekend- what a treat after starting these from cuttings a couple years back!

I was going to try to give this one as long as possible, but the eye is splitting. Should I pick it?

Green and yellow figs are best if fully, droopingly ripe. I’d let it hang as long as possible and keep and eye on it😀. It is very hard for me to let them get to the dead ripe stage, but wow does it make a difference.
