2019 Fig Scores

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

Flavor Profiles:
Melon - Not as sweet as Honey similar to Honeydew or Agave ex:
Strawberry Jam - Almost no acidity or seed crunch: ex Chicago Hardy
Raspberry Jam - More acidic with seed crunch Ex: White Madeira
Honey - Ex Peter's Honey
Honey Berry - a mix between berries and honey my favorite kind ex: Vincenzo


Size Chart in grams: Size should not be weighted as much as the actual taste of the fig. This year I'm cutting these numbers in half
1 = 1-20
2 =21-40
3 =41-60
4 =61-80
5 = 81-100
6 = 101-120
7 = 121-140
8 = 141-160
9 = 161-180
10 =181-200+

Productivity:
Productivity will be calculated by total 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 every 2 branches
1 = 1 fig per branch
2 = 2 figs per branch

Taste:
10 is Highest and 1 is the lowest. (An average fig for me would be a 6.5-7)

Example:
10 = Black Madeira
1 = Wuhan

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

Example:
Peter's Honey main crop 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.

Keep in mind a high total score doesn't indicate a great tasting fig. Depends on what you value out of a fig. Taste, sweetness, size, or productivity? Or maybe a well rounded fig.
