First off, a special thanks to Ben for giving us the opportunity to sample some of these Deep Purple figs—what a generous gesture! I also had the pleasure of sharing this experience with @Michael Harmony, who brought along a few figs from his collection for a side-by-side comparison. Visually, the Deep Purple fig is an absolute stunner—easily an 11 out of 10 for its striking color and presentation. It truly stands out among the varieties we sampled, including Michael’s Adriatic White, VDB, Del Sen Juame Gran, Smith, Negretta, RDB, CdDB (Fake), and Crnica. Some of these figs weren’t fully ripe, yet they still had enough flavor to give us a solid comparison. Given its appearance, I had high expectations for a rich, complex berry flavor. However, in terms of taste, it didn’t quite match what I had anticipated. While the pulp had a nice, jammy consistency (though not overly thick) and a pleasant lack of seed crunch, the flavor itself was milder than expected. There was a brief tangy note at the start, but it faded quickly, and overall, it wasn’t particularly sweet. The deep color and texture led us to expect more intensity in flavor, but in comparison to the other varieties, it felt a bit understated. That being said, taste is subjective, and different people may have different experiences with this fig. While it didn’t stand out flavor-wise for Michael and me, it’s still a visually exceptional variety and might appeal to those who prefer a more subtle taste profile. Again, huge thanks to Ben for sharing this with us—it was a great opportunity to explore and compare!

If you don't mind a small fruit and not such a productive tree but love the fact it does amazing in rains and humidity, I'd say "try it". We like it for those reasons and it's a fig you can eat when all others turn to crap. Semi-sweet, some acidic tones, small or closed eye, berry flavor and South Florida acceptable.
