db starts with ... Glad I found this site, I wasn't aware of Daleys until now.. Last week I bought Brown Turkey and White Adriatic fig variety from local Bunnings. Brown Turkey is already more than one meter in height but no fruits (but looks like it will fruit soon as I can see tiny buds near leafs) but White Adriatic is only 1 feet in height but already got 7-8 young fruits on it. Somewhere here I have read White Adriatic is more tasty but more suitable for cooler climate. That Bunnings store also have Black Genoa variety which seems to be more popular as I read it here now. Can someone tell me which one has best taste among these three? Has anyone successfully grown White Adriatic in Brisbane weather? how does it tastes? I can still return/exchange my purchase in Bunnings, so please help. What I'm after is any fig variety which tastes great and produces lots of fruits each yr :) I must mention that I'm going grow them in pots due to limited space in my garden...

MaryT says... Hi db, I have a White Adriatic and a Black Genoa in pots and they are both fruiting. The Black Genoa is three times more vigorous and has four times the number of fruit. There is some mottling of leaves at the moment and I have to find out what's wrong with them.

db says... Hi MaryT, Thanks a lot for your reply. So which one will be better in Black Genoa and Brown Turkey? Should I exchange my Brown Turnkey with Black Genoa? My local Bunnings currently have black genoa with couple of fruits on it. I have read brown Turkey will fruit twice a year but I'm not sure how many yearly fruits compared to black Genoa.. Any idea? Also which tastes better? Thanks again | About the Author Db Brisbane 19th January 2012 9:07am #UserID: 6427 Posts: 470 View All Db's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... I have been told Black genoa is better than brown turkey. Haven't tasted black genoa. I have a Brown Turkey. I think it's great...but I often find it hard to get the fruit fully moist inside (if that makes sense?) Often the very centre is a bit dry. I give it heaps of water - so I don't know why this happens. Anyway - it's prolific and the fruit are very large. The taste is lovely, to me. Sorry I can't help more re: taste comparison. I posted a link to an American Fig 'expert' comments in the form here somewhere - and he gave B.turkey the thumbs down...?? If u use the search feature you may be able to find the thread it is in. | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.

Aaron says... I bought my White Genoa in Aug 2009 as a stick about 2 feet tall. For the first year it was in a 90L pot and was transplanted to the ground in Winter 2010. Wasn't much fruits developed as it lacked watering. But this year, watering has been constant and have been plucking figs everyday to avour after dinner. It is creamy with a slight pink on the inside while it is greenish yellow on the outside. Still learning when is the right time to harvest!! :) Definitely taste better than Brown Turkey. | About the Author Perth NOR 19th January 2012 3:59pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jason says... White Genoa and White Adriatic are different variates. White Genoa is performing well for me so far and tastes pretty good but by all accounts isn't as good as White Adriatic which is why I have ended up with both :). I also have Excel which is another White fig and also pretty good (big upright tree that one). Black Genoa is supposed to be better than Brown Turkey I have 2 trees of one of those but I forget which, either way it doesn't ripen in time before Winter here very often. I doesn't seem possible to have a bad fig, just some are better than others :).

Db says... Yesterday I picked up our first fig of White Adriatic variety, I was expecting it to be very good in taste, it was good but exactly same like what I normally get from fruit market, it even looked same.. It was no where near to strawberry flavour.. When I google for white adricatic fig pics, I can see totally different figs than mine. I imagine mine is not white Adriatic. Outside became dark blakish brown in colour (like black genoa) when i picked it, it should be yellow in colour when fully ready, isn't it? Is mine not white adriatic? I bought it from Bunnings and that time they had only this white Adriatic plant which I bought and other variety like brown turkey and black genoa they had that time looked different than white adriatic so that time I was sure it must be white adriatic :( :( | About the Author Db 11th April 2012 8:32am #UserID: 6427 Posts: 470 View All Db's Edible Fruit Trees |

Db says... This is the photo of that fig that I picked couple of days back which I expected to be white Adriatic as per Bunnings label, unfortunately it's something else... Looks like its black genoa fig but tree is not fast growing.. Does anyone know what variety I got from these photos, In future I will be adding more fig trees in my collection but I don't want 2 trees of same variety :)

Dave says... I would agree with John, it could be many of the darker fruit varieties but if its from bunnies then it would likely be a Black genoa, they also sell Brown turkey but I would expect more 'Brown tones'. The White Adriatic in my orchard has fruit which have just ripened on their 'hegos' crop, the skin is quite light green with some even a yellow hue. They are very delicious and do taste like a melting strawberry! Its not a big tree and tends to have a grey to light coloured bark on most of it. The other variety I tried from my place this year for the first time is the 'St.Dominique Violette', it was super sweet and a lovely texture, fresh it is almost too sweet and with ice-cream it is amazing. The others I like are Excel, Prestons Prolific and Black Adriatic. Actually most figs I've tried I really liked, some are just a bit sweeter than others and juicier . I did have a few bad ones from one tree but i think they had a bad season, they were quite dry and gritty in the centre and the flavour was okay but mealy and I think it was a Genoa but thats not to say it can't be good in right conditions. | About the Author Dave Dandenongs 12th April 2012 1:00pm #UserID: 4019 Posts: 48 View All Dave's Edible Fruit Trees |

Db says... Thanks John and Dave for the reply.. I'm really upset with this Bunnings purchase as mine is not White Adriatic as per the label, When I purchased it, that time that Bunnings store had Black Genoa and Brown Turkey plants as well which were all at least 3 times bigger than this 'white adriatic :( Anyway...

I'm growing it in a large pot (90L), so it will be restricted anyway, so no worries..

Db says... I was just kidding MaryT... yeah I was also relying on that Bunnings label but I was unlucky in this case.. Anyway, whatever variety it is, fruit was good, specially considering first fruit.. I'm sure it will get better n better in next few seasons.. Is yours (White Adriatic) from Daleys or some other nursery? | About the Author Db 12th April 2012 3:07pm #UserID: 6427 Posts: 470 View All Db's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Glad to hear that the fruit was good, Db. Yes, that's all that matters. I'm sure both my figs were from Diggers, mere twigs (think thin pencil) when they arrived but well, after years of waiting they are now both fruiting. The White Adriatic fig is disappointing in that it is tasteless but the black genoa had decent fruit comparable to what you can buy. If I can't figure out a way to improve the flavour of the White it's getting the chop. | About the Author MaryT Sydney 12th April 2012 3:33pm #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

J says... Dave, I bought a St.Dominique Violette fig from diggers a couple of years ago. Been pretty disappointed so far. Each year it gets a bunch of fruits that go dark and soft and fall off when I open them they are immature and white inside. I was 3/4 convinced to take it out this year and try something else. Thought it might have been one of the types that need pollination. How long did you have to wait to get fruit? Seems like it might be worth keeping it based on your description. I've also got an excel and picone (great fig best I've tasted) | About the Author J1 Sydney 12th April 2012 4:48pm #UserID: 2949 Posts: 15 View All J1's Edible Fruit Trees |
|||||||||
Dave says... Hey J My St.Dom is only a young tree also. The first crop it did something similiar and produced small immature fruit. This year i got maybe 8 good sized figs that were nice. I'm fairly sure its self fertile, I would say give it a bit longer, the seasons the last 18 months are a bit tricky for figs anyway. Summer rains at set will make fruit drop. I'd say by year 4 it should be a good producing tree. Yet to try the Picone...sounds good. MaryT, thats a shame about your 'White' as this is one of my fave figs...maybe sweeten the soil! Figs generally like a more alkaline soil so dolomite lime or similiar might help, I only add a little compost once a year as they need very little attention after the first 3 years or so. | About the Author Dave Dandenongs 12th April 2012 5:20pm #UserID: 4019 Posts: 48 View All Dave's Edible Fruit Trees |
|||||||||
MaryT says... Thanks for the advice, Dave - just picked up this thread again as I am trying to research the Excel. My Black Genoa did well last season so I'm encouraged to get more figs. If the White Adriatic does not produce good fruit again I will give it the chop but I will try dolomite/lime first; I will also repot it to something bigger. I have ordered the picone and waiting for availability. | About the Author MaryT Sydney 13th September 2012 4:49pm #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Both White Adriatic and Brown Turkey are producing sweet fruit at the moment. My WA does not change much in colour as it ripens so I have to give it a squeeze to determine its ripeness. My favourite is still the Black Genoa, which is less sweet but more flavoursome.

Keen Fruit Grower says... These two varieties are the usual stock standard figs grown in Australia, & many other varieties are often passed off under these names as well. There are man varieties to which one can choose from. In terms of suppliers I would recommend very highly Yalca Fruits which do grow & supply trees that can grow in your climate http://www.yalcafruittrees.com.au/). Most fig trees should grow in your area & they can be trained to grow & remain in a pot for years. In actual fact I have an heirloom variety that my great grandfather saved from his farm in Turkey before escaping as a refugee to Greece (the farm was destroyed in the 1923 genocides). Subsequently my father got clearance to bring it out here to Australia from Greece. It does not have a name as such, but it is a tree which under warm conditions bears two crops a year. The fruit is very large and light green with a soft edible skin which is just as sweet as the inside of the fruit. The inside of the fruit is a dark red which is very moist oozing with syrup. It tolerates many soil conditions, but seems to do best in a hot dry climate growing amongst rocks with very little soil. In Australia it grows best in WA, SA & Mildura, but it can grow virtually anywhere in Australia. It is a tough & vigorous tree, but it can be trained to grow in a pot, but the fruits borne from it will be smaller. But if grown in the ground it bears such large fruits that one in itself is a meal on its own right. Traditionally we have eaten this fruit fresh or made jam from it, but one can also preserve it like those figs in jars that you see in Greek & Turkish shops. In colder climates, the tree will only be able to bear fruit once, will require plenty of sun (as do most figs require). The one drawback of this tree, is that if the temperature is not constant, but erratic, the skin of the fruit forms too thickly or thinly. If the latter occurs, then it will split under heavy rains, but still remain in fair condition & edible still. In Melbourne's case (unlike Brisbane where it would probably grow better), if the summer is too cold in its erratic behaviour the skin becomes thicker, whereas a hot summer produces a thinner skin. In any case I nickname this variety "Evmeneia" which means good favour & good will, since it has survived catastrophe & continued to endeavour to feed people after so many centuries of cultivation. I can at least trace the history of this tree through some 5 generations of my family. And if I am to believe a late Anzac, was the exact same variety fed to them from trees in Gallipoli which have now been removed. | About the Author 89 Box Hill 5th September 2013 10:15pm #UserID: 8195 Posts: 3 View All 89's Edible Fruit Trees |

Anonymous says... Keen Fruit Grower: It is not the only variety of fig that I have in my possession, but it is one that I know is very tough. My uncle George grows the tree in an area of brick, concrete & mortar in a 2sq m hole at his inner city terrace. And it has borne well under heat and cold, & produces better fruit than my own which are cared for, while at 90 he just gives the tree water & nothing else. I also raise other unique fruits such as Skopelos & Sicilian honey plums. But as for sending on a cutting or sapling to you, I'm not sure what the rules are regarding plant material between Victoria & Queensland, or what is the best way to send you plant material. In any case if I can learn I will prepare some for the coming winter to send out. | About the Author 89 6th September 2013 9:22pm #UserID: 8195 Posts: 3 View All 89's Edible Fruit Trees |

giannibrisbane says... Hi guys, what a great thread! Figs are my all time favourite fruit and I only recently started looking into growing them as I found out they do well in pots - yay for me! Currently renting an apartment with 2 large balconies, one of which gets direct sunlight pretty much all day. I was wondering if anyone from Brisbane might be willing to give sell me any cuttings this coming winter? I'm not picky regarding which variety as I'd like to try growing a few. Definitely willing to pay. Otherwise just wondering whereabouts would be the best place to purchase some young fig plants? I understand db mentioned Bunnings somewhere in Brisbane - do most stock fig varieties? Which Bunnings did you purchase from? Any information whereabouts in Brisbane would be very appreciated.

Further to this, with your permission, I am a teacher of horticulture and I could make sure this fig and its story is preserved on my campus for years to come. | About the Author Paul Green ARANA HILLS,4054,QLD 20th September 2017 11:07am #UserID: 10442 Posts: 3 View All Paul Green's Edible Fruit Trees |
