By all accounts this fig is supposed to be a winner. I may have been a bit premature in picking this one. It was not as sweet as I had hoped.

The Bordissot Negra is a mid sized black fig that is berry flavored. This fig requires a greenhouse or an early start to get a ripe fig before it starts to frost here in Seattle. It's definitely not an in ground candidate.

I thought the fig was good but not overly great but that may be because I picked this guy a bit too early. The first bite was good but it lacked the sweetness, and flavor punch that I was hoping for.

I'll let the next fig go super limp on the tree before I taste this again.
