Funny thing I've been eating figs for years. But I have only eaten the celeste and i thought they all tasted the same. I was so wrong now i have 28 varieties.
Both Nin ZS and Nin V are from the town Nin, which is located in Croatia. They were both discovered by grower in the Czech Republic, Michal Hladký who gave them these names. ZS is "Za sochou" = "Behind the statue" and V stands for "Vykopávky" = "Excavations".
I’m blown away from the different varieties of figs-I know a lot of Syrians, Lebanese and Sicilians, when I tell them they look at me cross eyed. Great content!
The unprecedented weather here in Socal earlier this year, especially in June when it was dark and gloomy the entire month, has caused me to be 6 or more weeks behind schedule. Only had a couple mediocre figs so far lol. Yours look great
It's cool to see so many fig varieties. It was great to see you at the Food Forest. I enjoyed your talk. Thank you for the 3 new plants too. I'll have to see how these figs taste. Are you considering hosting similar events in the future? Maybe even a tasting event, to demonstrate what the different varieties taste like, and rate them.
Hey Jeff. Thank you for coming! It was cool talking with ya. What we did was the closest to a public tasting event and Every year there is an opportunity to meet me somewhere.
In France, noire de Bellone actually refers to the bifère fig also called Sultane. Bellone (with the green tinge) is also called noire de Nice and is unifère. Confusing tbh. I have acquired both this year and got to taste the Bellone. A first year, underriped fig, flung on the concrete by a bird, who had been sitting there for a while... It was delicious.
Question please? Your making my mouth water! I have learned so much from you. Thank you! In SE Texas 9b My second year with Martinenca Ramada and LSU purple. They are loaded, I can’t wait! Should I remove some of them? I want to harvest before I plant. Putting them in the ground in the fall. I’m a little scared but they need it.
I think "Lungo de Portugallo" is the original source of Lubera's Peretta. At least that was what the owner of Lubera said. Even your fig in the video looks very similar to my Peretta main crop.
Thanks for the great review Ross. Are you liking the VdN better than WH#1? And could you spell that best tasting fig it sounded like the last part was Malone, thanks .
Isn't Noire de Bellone the same as Sultane? if that's the case, then I already have it. With so many figs having synonyms it gets confusing trying identifying them.
No, Noire de Bellone is completely different fig. I think someone just started this rumour, because they bought it as Noire de Bellone and it turned out to be Sultane. They are different. Noire de Bellone is a top notch fig, very close to CDDs, while Sultane is great producer and figs are vey good, but not even close to Noire de Bellone.
so>>>>announce an event IN TWO DAYS>>>a heads up>>you may want to give YOU GUYS a little lead way with >>>>the opportunity to attend>>>PLEASE AND THANK YOU in advance>>>
Actually, I gave everyone a heads up on my blog, IG, FB, and on my newsletter July 6th: www.figboss.com/post/fair-amount-presentation - I'm sorry you missed it.
@@RossRaddi I use to have several figs from my buddy, some came from Sicily some came from NY from the 60’s- I had a total of eight but had to dig them up and put them in pots due to having my water line replaced. I’m down to 3 of the 8. I’ll have to post figs with their leaves to see if one of you pros can get them in the right ballpark for what they are-I know one has to be a Italian Honey fig of some sort. I ate all the Breba’s already-I should have taken pics but didn’t-didn’t get a main crop only brebas on the white fig.
Hey Ross I just got a small green house for my fig cuttings. Should I move a large fig tree in there as well as it has fruit that it’s trying to ripen in time?
@@RossRaddi Right now the tree is in an area where it gets the most sunlight. Is it better to go for the slightly higher temperature/filtered sun in the green house or the more direct sunlight In it’s current spot?
