Fig Review: Violet de Bordeaux and Nero 600 Comparison

[@pamdyer4644]

Came across your channel by chance. Joined the fig group. I live in Eastern Louisiana. So glad I found your channel.

I have a Nero 600 growing out now and several VdB so I'm keenly interested in this one.

Ben, unfortunately I just started growing fig trees this spring. Growing up in North Seattle, I have been interested in your story. You kind of remind me of myself, in terms of interests. I now reside in the Tri-Cities, but spent my first thirty in Seattle. I've had a koi pond for 20 inches yrs. And of course, I'm Chinese. Burning question, is it important to have a special cutting board to process figs on? I want to get this fig thing exactly right!

Good video Ben thanks

I have a tree called Vallacalde. Same exact region and 600 meter up a mountain as Nero 600m. Its a one year tree so no figs yet. Also starting a Nero 600 I'm wondering if they are the same tree.

You said August but when do they ripen the breba for you exactly? I also have a VdB and want to compare. I just started out planting figs and want to get an idea of which varieties I can ripen properly where I live. I’m in coastal NorCal.

I got Black Crimean from my friend but some said it's Violette De bordeaux and Negronne synonymous.

Just missed it

Do u believe in pinching or not to pinch?

[@benbseattle]

yes it serves its purpose. to create additional branching or transfer some of the energy into fruit growth, removing the auxin at the tip has a multiple benefits.

VDB/NEGRON??

[@gsxraiders]

Are you viet?

[@Banasuka]

Idon't have vdb and Nero 600 🙄😟😔🥺 I jus have negrone, red libya, Smith, 🙂😀😀

[@AM-lz2jr]

You have a great lineup. I think negrone is the same as vdb. I'm hoping that smith can be cheap one day so I can buy some cuttings. It's a must have for my climate.
