Fig Tasting: Late October Figs Rob's Genovese Nero, Celeste & Florea

Celeste, Rob's Genovese Nero, & Florea

Figure by this time of year the cold weather is gonna make the figs taste like crap but I couldn't resist and picked a few anyways. These score are not indicative of the true potential of these figs. If they had ripened with more sun and heat I'm sure they would receive a much better score.

So really the only purpose of these scores is to show why it may not be worth it to grow really late figs here in the PNW.

These 3 are an exception though. RGN has a Breba crop, Celeste ripens in late Sept. & Florea has a very long ripening time frame all the way into Oct.
