Description
So this tree set and dropped A TON of figs this season. I’m not sure if that’s typical, if it’s just adjusting and needs to mature more, or if it was from the heat & water issues of this year. I’ve had a few other trees drop a lot too, so I’m not holding it against this variety this season. The few that it did hold on to and ripen were nabbed by critters. This is the 2nd fig I’ve tasted off of it, and probably the last for the season. It was caprified.
It does have a certain brightness to it that could be likened to passion fruit, I’m not sure of the other flavors in it and would need to taste it again to try to pinpoint them. I wouldn’t say berry, figgy or cherry exactly, it’s something else. But whatever the case, it does taste good and I enjoyed eating it.
