    Hi Ben. I just discovered your site. I'm crazy for figs, too, especially Black Mission. I was wondering if it would be a challenge to grow them in the East Renton Highlands. You likely know that it's a tiny bit cooler here than at lower elevations. If Black Mission would be too difficult, what dark, sweet fig would be suitable? And when would be the optimal planting season? We have lovely, loamy soil with lots of earthworms. Many thanks.

      Black mission shouldn't be too difficult.It is by far not the best tasting. I would get an MSVB, or ronde de bordeaux, or Violet de Bordeaux. They do great here and taste way better than black mission

  7. CascadiaJuly 10, 2016 at 11:04 PM

    Thanks for the info. I never tasted those. If they are better, they should be awesome!
    Would I be able to plant in September, or wait for Spring?

    Forgive me for a stupid question. In the column to the right of "Size", what do B, M, and N stand for?

    Ben, I live in Seattle and glad to know about you and your fig collection. I'll be very interested to know if you have cuttings on the Ben's Golden Riverside, Vincenzo, Ischia Black UCD, Black Madeira KK for sale?

    Here's info about Verte not being synonymous with Green Ischia:
    "More importantly, Green Ischia is not a synonym of Verte but in the same clade. This differs from Condit's morphological analysis."

    From Ourfigs Forum post titled

    Thanks for sharing, Ben. Blessings!
