A reliable Adriatic fig family variety.
A reliable Adriatic fig family variety.
Since we had so many varieties from the Adriatic fig family, and our JH Adriatic was in a poor location, we had it slated for the chopping block. HOWEVER, it became LOADED with figs in 2025, and I couldn’t bring my self to get rid of it.
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 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.
The Archipel fig variety just seems lackluster to our tastes, so we culled it.
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.
We have culled CdD Grise VS as we can tell no difference between it and LSU Scott’s Black.
Though Scott’s Black has the best flavor of all of the LSU varieties we have trialed, it is late and hates the rain, so we have culled it.
The Olympian fig variety has a wonderful peach🍑 flavor. Now all I need is cream.
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.
