not surprised VDB got voted number one. I don't have a huge fig collection yet but I do have a VDB and this is easily my favoutite fig I have ever eaten. grown in Penrith, NSW
Cheers!, enjoyed listening when I should have been working 😂. I think that I was that forum member who posted about the Chiswick fig collection and trying to sort out the issue with the numbering. I believe the Chiswick collection was sent to the RHSV in Aus as well so a good number of the varieties from that collection may be in Australia. The collection in the UK was lost around the time of WW2, as best I can find out the glass houses were damaged during the Blitz. There is now a new collection at RHS Wisley, they have confirmed that none of their varieties can trace directly back to Chiswick
Yay it's finally here!!!!! Thank you for taking the time to share with us!
FINALLY! Took me long enough :) I am glad you enjoyed
Little Miss Figgy is a dwarf variety of VdB. Exact same fruits. Huge bearer, if mine in a pot is an indication. It's still a small plant, at less than a cubic meter, but I see 50 fruits on it. I bought it from a nursery just five months ago, where it was in a one gallon pot. I also have a real VdB, same age, which is much taller, but is not fruiting yet.
LMF is not yet in Aus as far as I can tell, but I came across it a lot in my research
Loved the tension of waiting for #1! Loved the details on each variety! Thanks, this was a fun video!
I am glad you appreciated, it was a lot of fun looking into each variety and expanding my own wish list
What a fantastic video! I’ve loved the entire series (particularly this episode) and I look forward to the sequel 👍
I dont know where to go from here, maybe the next series has to be the 'top worst figs in the world, as complained by forum members '...!
Nicely done, good information, and I thought that the final ranking was fair.
Thanks Nathan.
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed and the final rankings seems about right and fair
Another top production Nathan
Lots of info
Last time I saw you I said Celeste and vdb are the only 2 I really want to add to my fig collection and I think this list confirmed that for me with them being 1&7 on the list.
Hope your house hunting etc goes smoothly 4 u in the end
Guess who has an extra Celeste not coming with me when I finally move! Not to mention a spare Vdb! I'll keep your name on them
@@LiveLoveCanberra thank you Nathan
That would be awesome 👍
Bravo LLC, major props for doing so much research and work to get all this information together. Thanks from Canada.
Glad you enjoyed :) Thanks for the comment
Because there are so many repetitions of the same tree, it would be more practical to graft them all on one single tree to save space.
I had Celeste in San Antonio, Tx, but I cut it down because it was too vigorous and "weedy" (excessive sprouts from the roots). I prefer fig trees with moderate growth that don't take too much space.
That Cdd Blanc pic that say courtesy of Jamey is me. Nice to see it made it in the video. That was 2021 , I loved it so much, last year I sacrificed my harvest to up-pot twice and layer off all 4 scaffolds. So I have 5 Cdd Blanc this yr, and hope to get several figs from each one.
Really! It is such a small world in our fig community! Great picture :) I havent managed to secure a CddB yet but it is on my must have list
I must say, I was surprised when I heard your number one fig, (because it had the most votes). I believe that the only explanation for this outcome is that it's widely available, while many of the other varieties are still relatively rare.
It makes a lot of sense, because it is an aggregated count of votes, there simply wont be as many people with some of the niche figs out there able to vote them higher. Also because the list was ranked differently by different people some people ranked based upon hardiness or reliability rather than flavour etc. It makes a lot of sense that the more common figs get more mentions in general

Great vids ! You put lots of time putting together this vid, and it defiantly shows . Well done !
Thank you for the comments, and I glad you appreciated!
@@LiveLoveCanberra I'm just getting started on my fig collection. I guess I did good buying my cuttings. I have 8 of the top 10 , in the fig pop method currently . Thanks to everybody for their how-to vids !
Great video!
I rooted a couple of Improved Celeste this winter, i look forward to tasting the figs
I only have the original Celeste, but it was a delicious fruit, good luck with your Improved version!
Most surprised that pastilliere did not show up on the list at all.
UNK Pastilliere made the cut, and many people grouped these together although they seem to be different varieties. In recent times UNK Pastilliere got more attention and so is likely to be at the forefront of people's minds...
Whaaaat? 2 months ago- how on earth did i miss this? Nathan this wax fabulous along with the previous two episodes.
Id have these on good old fashioned dvds
Im guessing you only need z few hiurs slepp at night, as yiu have crammed an enormous load into your life.
Ive just a Black Madeira-yeehaaa. Number 1 and Number 3 are o my sights next. CHEERS AND WELL DONE
I am glad you appreciated! How is sunny Perth going?
Is that a Seagull S6 in the background? Figs and acoustic guitars are two of the best things in this world :)
It is, you have a good eye :) I am not going to be fronting any bands with my meagre skills though !
Using a cold frame I have kept frost from setting back the new growth like it did last yr. So active growth is happy and green already, with several leaves on each branch on my 3rd yr mother tree. Cdd Blanc, a great fig.
Of the world....I would kindly disagree, there are so many better than some listed in my opinion. And so much depends on region.
One of the most subjective questions out there, one person's worst figs might be another's favourite
@@LiveLoveCanberra Agreed. I have 150+ varieties...and still discovering great tasting new to me figs. lol
Wonderful discussion of figs and the history of fig. I have to disagree with the number one designation of violet de Bordeaux as the number one fig.
Thanks for your comment! With any list being so subjective it would be impossible to get anyone to agree, and this was the best approach I thought existed on such a controversial topic. What did you think of the others in the top list?
I like to think that young Becknel (sp) was a fan of The Cure and named the fig after Robert Smith. But of course that's my personal bias.😎
Haha I think you have solved the mystery!
Interesting project, thanks!
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed :)
Quality content
Thank you, I appreciate the comment
Great vid. Any advice on how to get my hands on a Col de dame Blanc?
In Australia? Nope! I have a col de dame gris, and a noire, but am yet to track down anyone with blanc. I'm sure somebody has it though...
If I bought one from overseas and had it shipped here, what are the chances it would get through customs lol 😆
@@nickangelovski4358 This is a little naughty and risky and wouldn't try it myself. If you do hear of such an occurrence, let me know though!
Loved the Video 🍺. Needs more subs 😊
I didnt put any subs in, anything must be auto generated, perhaps in the future I will add some in!
Good video
Smith = Texas BA-1 and possibly Algerian Chetoui
VdB = Negronne, Pete Aubique, Vista, Beers Black, Malone, etc
VdB has such a huge number of synonyms I probably have about 6 in the collection by mistake
Are you saying that Texas ba-1 is the same exact plant as smith? I am curious
@Siberianhuskypuppy I have both and they look a little different they taste the exact same and texas ba- is more productive
Smith, hative d argentuil, and native "french" black are all from the same rough region in france... Prior providence who knows.. And WW2 is to thanks for taking all the old mother trees
This is odd...are you the same John K that asked me if i am in America?...I can see the question but cannot reply to it.
I am pretty sure Black Madeira, Italian 258, Col de dame blanc,White Madeira nr1,Azores Dark are number one 😂 just my 2 cents
Haha thats quite the number in first spot
😅😊😊
Nathan, its satisfying to see you finish this project. It's been a journey not only with this video series, but with everything going in your life as you said. It's Quite Ironic. 10 years since the f4f post, man, time flies. Shoutout to Millennial Gardener, I like his videos as well.
Violet De Bordeaux was the one that got me started as well! It seems to be the fig that gets everyone started before we go further into figs. It is easily a number 1 for me as well. I found out that the Black Ischia in Australia is actually called Petit Negri. I didn't know Ischia Black UCD, is a completely different fig. Petit Negri is from France, and it's a very 'petite' small tree-based Bordeaux fig. PS: I bought my Rond De Bordeaux off eBay and its definitely not RDB. Perhaps you've got the same RDB source as me? (figalot on ebay) and you might be surprised by the leaf pattern that it's not RDB, but another Bordeaux family fig (unknown).
Nathan, thanks for sharing this fig list project with us. It was in my opinion a great idea to evaluate all the information out there and create a criterion and rank everything. All the best, and God Bless! Dim.
I have a couple of Black Ischia, and some sold as Ischia Black, bought from a few sources over years, it is so difficult to know in Australia if we are getting the same varieties that are spoken of in the USA, or if they have adopted different names here based on overseas popularity. I have a Rond de Bordeaux that I got as a part of a trade on a Facebook group, and it hasnt yet fruited so I am not sure if it is the real deal. I dont know what the original source of the one I have is, but I didnt source it from figalot directly. I understand that the leaf shape of RDB is quite characteristic, and my young plant seems to have a mix of leaves, so I guess I will just to wait and see. If it does turn out legit I will get some cuttings to you if you want
@@LiveLoveCanberra It's going to be interesting to see for sure. I feel as if the Australian Scene is lacking, but it seems to be getting better. This winter I get the feeling were going to see a bucket load of new varieties. Keep me updated Nathan with the RDB, and potentially make a video, if possible, in the future. Thank you for the offer on the RDB!!!
Will do, and for our sake I hope we do see some new varieties !
Your video is far too long and needs to edited! Nibody has the time to listen to a video this long.
The length is right there in the description, no one made you click it!
