2017 Fig Scores

Fig taste Scores for 2017



Four Categories to judge for: Taste/Flavor, Sweetness, Size, Productivity
10 is Highest and 1 is the lowest.

Size Chart in grams:
1 = 1-10
2 =11-20
3 =21-30
4 =31-40
5 = 41-50
6 = 51-60
7 = 61-70
8 = 71-80
9 = 81-90
10 =91-100+

Productivity:
Productivity will be calculated by how many figs divided by how many branches. So the result will be a number that shows the average amount of figs per branch.

Example:

 .5 = 1 fig for ever 2 branches
1 = 1 fig per branch
2 = 2 figs per branch

 Taste/Flavor:
10 is Highest and 1 is the lowest.

Example:
10 = Black Madeira
1 = Wuhan

 Sweetness Level:
10 is Highest and 1 is the lowest.

 Example:
Peter's Honey would be a 9
White Kadota I had from 2 years ago would be a 2 - it was bland as water

This list will change as the year goes by. I will score brebas as well as main crop. This is very subjective to Seattle's zone 8B and my personal preference. However I would love to hear about your top tasting fig in the comments below in your area.

    I like your new way of scoring, in my area, lots of fig trees with unsweet figs.
