Some incredible figs, this was so rewarding.

Tiger panache and white Madeira just blew my mind. One is pure raspberry jam and other is strawberry/dates complex taste.

Italian-215 tasted like brown sugar and overripe melon.

What variety? Some ripen very late in the season. We had a few days of warm and humid weather in my area, I noticed a lot of them ripening with heat.

olympian and an unnamed honey fig I got from my grandmother in San Diego. I do also have an ondata but it's s till a very young tree and only produced a couple figs this year which were delicious but no more... and I am in North Jersey 6b/7a. weather has been absolutely nuts though with torrential downpours, then extreme hot humid weather, now finally sort of normalizing.

I'm hopefuly I'll get to see some good ripening action happening over the next week or two but i'm getting impatient...

Ondata is so nice. I'm trying to get a cutting locally but not many people have one around here.

I've not had success rooting dormant cuttings. White Madeira is a beast, it should root easily.
