The biggest winner this year was a surprise. It was the Golden Riverside fig that my brother and I bought from a gentleman in Santa Cruz, CA.
It ranked right up there with the Black Madeira for me. It tasted like a Black Madeira crossed with a yellow fig. Very Distinct and Oh So Yummy!
Love your blog and passion for figs! What 3-4 figs would you plant if you could only plant 3-4? We live in Vancouver WA so we get more warmth than you but a bit more winter cold. I was thinking: Desert King, Violette de Bordeaux, Lattaurula, and one more. Vern's brown turkey, Peter's Honey, Petite Negra were the ones I was thinking of. I am most interested in fresh use and rich, exotic, spiced flavor.
