Picked a black tuscan fig today it tasted nice need more to gauge and there is more on plant ripening although i see 1 splitting as we had heavy rain yesterday eve and overnight.

Nice packed of goodnes 😀 most fig growers call those types of figs Black Madeira type, in my opinion they are Violeta from Madeira Island type. It doesn't look like there is a difference in it's flavor and taste, is here.

You must have tasted lots of different varieties through your fig growers life, was there a fig that you will never forget, taste wise ?

Had another tuscan fig it was less flavorful than yesterdays .

No pics but had a black tuscan and a madeira today and they are different enough to tell in a blindfolded tasting. The plants and their leaves do look the same

Another one that looks the same as above is our cravens craven but no figs on it turning as of today.

Hello Martin, I took the liberty to copy one of the interesting thread that started on Ourfigs forum. I thought you might want to take look.

I apologize if I cross the line.

No line ; )

That is an interesting thread thanks , have the bmkk and it is a strong grower in our yard.

Cravens figs should start soon never really got to gauge them .

Have been eating the figs off this plant and they are very good .The Tuscan is almost done with its figs for the season that i let set on plant early on in the season.

Just several more left.

Black Tuscan can now rest its figs are gone it was a pleasure to eat figs from this plant.
