Bluemalibu From Zone 9 On Nov 11 2020

Here in NorCal zone 9b, Angelito is every bit as incredibly good this year as last... It once again trounced all other contestants from among my 700 fig trees for the title of 'Best of Show' for flavor in our clime. The taste is an intense sweet berry, like Bourjasotte Gris on steroids, but it has a bright fruity essence as well that makes it absolutely delicious! It is an early ripener, showing the first ripe fruit near the first of August here in Cali. The little tree seemed unable to do any wrong at all... it was superbly prolific, producing a fairly large fig at every leaf node on the tree; there was not a single case of splitting or souring in any fig whatsoever.
