I’m in love with my in-ground BFF, Bass’ Favorite Fig, this year. I can understand why Bass gave it that name. It produces beautiful black figs up to 100 g. They are fabulous fresh or partially dried. Dry enough to store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
My tree looks magnificent this year. Vigor is perfect and good fruit set. I’ve had heavier fruit set in the past on this variety, but it’s not done growing or setting this year.
This fig deserves more hype than it gets…!!
Feel free to nominate your most underrated fruit, fig or otherwise.
Mulberries! I have hundreds of pounds i never pick ! I eat all i want and never spray! Whats not to love? Underated by everyone because they should be on the invasive list they are so easy to grow.
Tough to pick. We see untold amounts never picked here. Probably into the millions of pounds in just the tricounty area . Grapes and Blackberries. Best Jelly and Wine ever.
I bet you could open a jelly brand if you got permission to pick.
Proably true of autumn olives also. I secretly love having an early winter crop of berries! Shushhhh dont tell anyone i will be tar and feathered if i get caught with gallons of them smiling.
