Still considered one of the best varieties of the Mt Etna Types.
Though Albo is a very good honey fig from the Pomona fig collection, we are not big into honey figs and this one just didn’t have a good level of production. In spite of its flat bottom, it does seem to handle the rain well.
We have not grown the Red Bluff Roundup fig variety, but The Fig Hunter was kind enough to send us a sample.
It was difficult to let go of an LSU variety, but in spite of its reliable production, Improved Celeste just doesn’t have a flavor that impresses and it doesn’t like the rain, so we culled it.
The Archipel fig variety just seems lackluster to our tastes, so we culled it.
A truly premium fig variety.
After growing Pellegrino for a few years, we can tell no difference between it and Longue d’Aout, so we have culled Pellegrino.
