The only fig I've had off my Green Ischia (was also labeled as Verte when I bought it), was quite ripe, the skin had started to yellow a bit, shrivel and had a few sugar spots. Man, it was pretty tasty, bit of a strawberry like flavor. The tree didn't do much this year, it dropped its leaves at one point and didn't really bounce back much until this fall. I repotted it in a better draining / aerating mix so I think it'll do a bit better next year. All of the trees that I have in better potting mixes are doing way better.
@@muhammadjuniannurrahman6309 in the right climate a lot of people say that Battaglia Green is better than all the other similar figs, yet I highly doubt that is true in all climates that it can grow in. No best fig is best everywhere,
They are pretty effective for me. I only had a dozen figs this year but none got SWD. What I use the bags most for are my raspberries, which are very susceptible fruit to SWD. Right now the SWD is so bad where I live that they are currently ruining about 95% of my raspberries that aren't covered with organza bags. The ones in organza bags are only infected maybe 5% of the time, and it's usually those that are smooshed up against the bag that might get infected or if a bag comes loose at the drawstrings. The SWD can lay eggs through the bag if the fruit is touching the sides of the bag but it's not as common as I thought it would be. They're much more effective in my area than spraying with spinosad, which is the most recommend pesticide for treating SWD.
@ImaEatIt provided a great summary! I would guess effectivity closer to 2 out of 3 (66%) for me. It is likely due in part to not bagging the figs early enough as well as ensuring the bag is tight. I also find my success rate goes up when I reduce the number of SWD through orchard maintenance, water reduction, and occasional sprays.
What does JH in the name of your Adriatic fig mean ? I have a great white Adriatico from Big Bill of Off The Beaten Path. First fig in my collection to ripen .
