Fantastic butterscotch flavor!
We are still trialing this one, but the butterscotch flavor of the few small figs we’ve gotten so far is a unique fig experience. It was loaded with brebas in the spring of 2025, but a late frost wiped them out. Our potted tree also survived a severe cold snap that same winter.
Maybe our favorite Adriatic fig variety.
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.
We have not grown the 5 Points fig variety, but The Fig Hunter was kind enough to send us a sample.
I’m still unsure that this variety is true to type. Sometimes the figs look like others’ pix, sometimes not. But I’m hanging onto it for now.
We only got a single, really nice fig from our new Algerian Chetoui tree, before it was killed over the 2024/25 winter. This one may have to go back onto our wish list.
A unique variety of the Mt Etna family of figs.
