[figfin47]

WHAT ARE THE BEST VARIETIES THAT ARE HARD TO FIND THAT HAVE A STRONG CHERRY BERRY FLAVOR?

To the best of my knowledge these are reported to have a similar flavor to that -- I have not fruited these to confirm yet, but I am in the process of doing so

Cherry Cordial
Cherry Bourbon
Rodgrod
Hative d'Argenteuil
Marseilles Black
Cherry Sweet Tart
Cavaliere

I'm sure this list isn't complete. Hopefully more people will add to this

The Ispilya fig from Turkey taste like a cherry jolly rancher. Also, the Nazareth fig and Beirut White fig have a similar cherry jolly rancher flavor.

I saw Nazareth’s in figbid but it was to expensive, I would like to collect figs from Jerusalem and Israel also for the history in that area, I already got shafts Isrrael 7 so that’s a start 👍

I had cherry bourbon but lost that one in the freeze, never tasted it thou guess that’s what hurts the most.. cherry sweet tart it’s in the second year let’s see how that one taste 👅

Mario, I got a cherry bourbon tree I'll cut for you when I have enough growth on it (it's a rooted cutting atm).

Also, I've got a hmadi fig from Israel you'd be interested in. I'll send cuttings of that at the same time.
