Nice to have my daily dose of Ross, I'm running out of videos, but the questions are mounting up. I enjoy the how to ones where you are teaching something as you are doing it.

"Yeah, holy chit" 🤣🤣🍯

I love when you tasted the fig

[@TheASTrader]

In your cuttings video you say not to let the fig tasting videos get us too excited on a fig variety, but I'm afraid this did it for me. Gotta get I-258 now. LOL! Was the skin tough, in your opinion?

[@RossRaddi]

It's definitely a keeper, and is a variety very well recommended in the fig growing community. You won't go wrong with this one. The skin I believe is somewhere in the middle in terms of toughness.

Hoi Ross,
In youre spreadsheet u write down I258 is a synonym for Black Madera. Is there not a bigh difference in ripeningtime, production, leave shape etc.?

[@RossRaddi]

They are not synonyms, but quite similar figs is all. I258 seems to have a shorter ripening window and to be a bit earlier. It's also more vigorous. More productive.

can I buy the seeds? BNR

[@RossRaddi]

Don't have BNR and figs are not cloned from seed.
