Ohio fruits looking good! It’s great to get plants to thrive and produce fruit in places where most people think they wouldn’t. @tonyOmahaz5 is the king of that, and he’s one of the people who inspired me to grow figs and persimmons in the first place.

The famous Smith fig.
In my yard, closer to ripening, it hates rain and appears sensitive to regular watering. This is the 3rd year of fruiting. If it rains near a ripening time, fruit become bloated, soggy and split. Every year!!
It is the only potted fig that I have make sure to drag the pot back in a garage if I want to eat the figs.

Which one you like the best?
I think I liked Colonel Littman’s the best out of this lot. It had a nice berry flavor and was probably the sweetest. However, this is likely partially due to them being more dehydrated. The skin is thicker which makes them less likely to spoil while ripening on the tree. There were other figs I liked more this year like Norella, Malta Black, Unknown Prosciutto, Smith, Moscatel Preto, RdB, and DSJG. The dryer summer definitely helped some of them shine.
