Dominick
The Dominick fig variety is an excellent Mt Etna, but it was just way too far from the house to keep up with, so it’s been culled.

LSU O’Rourke
We had just re-located our LSU O’Rourke late in the 2022 season, which made it susceptible to being killed by the 2022 Arctic Blast. Even though it’s an official LSU variety, we just don’t feel the need to replace it, as we have so many other early and much more flavorful varieties.
-
LSU Improved Celeste (ICON)
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.
-
Alma
It was not easy to let go of the Alma fig variety, but I became concerned that it was right up against my home foundation.
-
Emerald Strawberry
Emerald Strawberry is one of the best of the Atreano family of fig varieties, but I prefer the more intense flavor of the Adriatic figs, so we culled it.
-
Archipel
The Archipel fig variety just seems lackluster to our tastes, so we culled it.
-
White Triana
The White Triana fig is an excellent variety from the Atreano fig family, but it hasn’t been very productive and was in a shady location, so we culled it.
-
Yellow Long Neck
Yellow Long Neck is a very productive fig variety, and not bad for a honey fig. However, it doesn’t like the rain and I prefer more intense flavors, so we culled it.
-
Black Mission
Though Black Mission is a very good commercial variety, it is a somewhat boring fig for the home orchard. So, we have culled it.
