I live in Fairfax County, Virginia and plan on moving down to south-west Virginia. Question: Why in the world would you leave Virginia to move to California (of all places). I guess you didn't get the memo that everyone is trying to get out of there. Anyway, I enjoy your fig knowledge... was sad to hear that you left the area. Good luck!

Have you tried the pollinated version of these vs the ones you love to see if maybe is that improving the flavor?

There is no pollinator in VA. The climate in VA is just not good for this type. It is a top tasting variety in CA

I had a pond dug for a similar reason--orchard and veg gardens. Thing is I had it tested and it has lots of ecoli. I did some research on it and decided not to use my pond for irrigation based on what I discovered. Concerns include parasites, pathogens, heavy metals and more. Does this concern you? I think regular testing would be prudent once established. Just wondering if you've considered it.
@FigLifedotcom
@FigLifedotcom Ай бұрын
I should probably test for bacterial and heavy metals at some point, but I doubt there is an issue. The irrigation water comes down from the mountains in canals and it is commonly used for agriculture here. Mine doesn’t come direct from the canals but it’s only a few properties upstream.

1 of less than a handful of videos on this variety up on the web. Did you keep growing it up until your move to CA? did it get better after the 1st year? I ask because the videos up on it seems to be from 1st year trees and say the same thing, surprisingly not a berry fig not very sweet but a sugar fig with mild berry tones. Any insight would be appreciated

I’m a beginner at this fig hobby and have checked out many of your reviews. If anything, how about giving the specific fig a 1 to 10 taste rating and show how prolific the tree is? That would give us viewers even more of a detailed description than you always do. Great job and awesome photography!

I’ve compiled thanks God a list of what would be all types of figs and so as not to be overwhelmed: taste should be important and seems that after all these collections still end loving black Madeira in them. So not to confuse you: 1 black madeira 2 colonel littmans black cross or clbc if it rains a lot where you are frequently every week or much at once. This is a smaller black Madeira close it seems. 3 if you want to know the full summary that I’ve done...
