Savanac Noire (Thierry)
Sadly, our young potted Savanac Noire was killed by the 2022 Arctic Blast.

Though Purpura Verde is a unique fig variety, it is not very productive and the flavor just doesn’t stand up against some of our other fig varieties, so we have culled it.
Antelope Bridge is a caprifig variety that never produced for us, and we decided no to pursue experiments with caprification, so we culled it.
We have culled Aldo’s Red, as we could tell no difference between it and Brooklyn Dark.
We have culled Ciccio Nero, as it like many of our other Mt Etna varieties.
Easton Vasilika is a very good fig variety. However, we have many Adriatics and the tree was in the way of another project, so it’s gone.
Though the Kesariani fig variety is very cold hardy and productive, it was in a poor location and I have nicer berry figs than another Mt Etna.
After growing Pellegrino for a few years, we can tell no difference between it and Longue d’Aout, so we have culled Pellegrino.
Albacor de Molla Blanca is just not an impressive fig variety (just another Black Mission, low productivity), so we have culled it.
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.
