My Earliest Fig Varieties for 2021!
In this video I review most of the varieties that have ripened for me early in 2021. Most of these figs are varieties that I have had for a few years, while a couple are new for me this year.
There were a few additional varieties that have ripened for me early in 2021 that I didn't mention in the video, but that shouldn't be forgotten. These include: Red Lebanese Bekaa Valley, Zaffiro, and Malta Black.

Pete, awesome video. Love watching the fig videos in winter!
LSU produced some really great figs. Hollier & Tiger are my favorite.
great videos as always thx
Thanks for sharing.
I've had the same experience in CT with VDB splitting at the eye. In my experience, it's just not the best here. although...I tried a Nero 600m in Rhode Island, with the same 6b humid climate, and it was one of the best figs I've ever had...in other news..I'll hold onto my LSU pruple, 2022 is year three..
I have the same issue with White Triana, but looks like you are picking it way too early. Allow it to hang 10-14 days until it has many dark sugar spots. Then it tastes better. It holds up well to rain so try it!
Which variety do you have in ground? I’m in NoVa as well. Looking at maybe putting some in ground. Do you do anything special to protect in winter?

Hello, I’m in Ontario. I just bought two figs off an old Italian lady. She has two kinds white and black, cuttings off a the 40 year old mother plants! I would love to figure out the variety. I Believe she brought them from Italy. The mother plants are in a green house

Hollier is pronounced "Ole-YAY". It is a fairly common last name in south Louisiana.

I’m pretty sure. Why do you think it’s pronounced Hoo-yay?

@@FigLifedotcom You are probably right. I think it was a different KZreadr who pronounced it HooYay but I have no reason to believe them over you. I didn't take french so I don't know.
