I purchased cuttings of this fig back in 2016 from Armando. It looked yummy enough from the photos so I bought some. Then again I bought every thing in sight back then. Hence my fig addiction.
A few years later and a little bit wiser. I tend to get Leary about unknown figs from California. One, it may need caprification and two it may need that Cali heat to ripen.
Well I guess I'm lucky enough to get ripe fruit from this variety this year.
It's on the small side.
With a nice tight eye.
This little green fig is was a bit of a surprise for me. I was not tracking it's progress this year at all so to get ripe figs was fun to see.
At 16 grams this is on the small side. There was a very strange tobacco like essence with it when I bit into fig. Quite strange really. I have never experienced this before. Besides that this fig is just ok.
It has a berry type flavor and below average sweetness. For me, average is about a 7.
Should you add this to your collection? only if you like to pair it with a Cigar.
