    I have propagated 7 cuttings of this variety successfully. I want an army of its figs.

    I grow tons of alpine strawberries and I dry them for seeds and when you dry alpine strawberrys they turn into pure cotton candy flavoring! They smell stronger of cotton candy than normal cotton candy but completely naturally and super irresistible compared to actual cotton candy which I dont like much xD

    My extremely ripe LDA tasted more like acidic fruit punch. Rhode Island Zone 6B.

    In your opinion, why do some figs produce many and continual suckers while others produce none? Removing suckers seems to initiate ever more suckers. So, will this sucker producing fig never get lots of really good and large figs?

      The suckers next year if I protect them will produce high quality fruit.

    Got damn…I need this in my collection. I’ve always passed it up but I think I can find space for it.

    I can’t wait to taste my longue d’août figs, Ross have you tried Texas peach I remember you said you planted one I was wondering if they tasted like a peach 🙂

      Not this year.

    So you cut all the suckers so they would not produce?

    Benadryl, Ross ... works every time for me! Or you can down the hottest Jalapeno Salsa you can make. Clears out the sinuses like nothing else will! As for figs ...LSU Gold is about the same for me in terms of early production and more of a honey taste. It's flat bottom and open eye and checking for a syrup drip each day makes it amazing.
    Everyone knows Flat bottom FIGS make the world go round!
    Thanks for the video.Good luck on the sinuses!

    Pelegrino is the answer to your skin quest, basically same fig but splits probably 50% less than LDA

    If ripe figs travelled well, it would be so good to do taste comparisons of the same fig from different parts of the country, or other countries.

    Great video Ross! How close do you plant your fig trees?

    • @RossRaddi
      @RossRaddi  ปีที่แล้ว

      These are 2-3 ft on center. In VA, I'd go about 6-10 ft.

    Hello, your spreadsheet is very useful. Is it something you keep up to date, or something that has fallen behind? I see LdA is in C tier in your spreadsheet, so not sure if your opinion of it has changed, or if despite you liking it for taste you still consider it lower down the rankings. Thank you

    • @RossRaddi
      @RossRaddi  ปีที่แล้ว

      It's not updated in that regard. It's in the B tier.
