About My Edible Backyard

They are sooo rewarding to take a fresh and succulent fig or orange and bite into it, utter bliss.

Fig Black Genoa (Seedling) ^10/10

Comments: -

I love this fig as I planted 5, 2 x Black Genoa, 2 x Brown Turkey and 1x white Adriatic which I purchased from you in 2008 to surprise my Husband who was recovering from his first stroke.

They have all fruited and grown from small plants to over 3m high and ready for this season's fruit. Can't wait!!! The taste is... to die for, soft and delicious. If you have only tasted the dried ones be ready for an explosion in your mouth!

They all taste fantastic, not too fussed about the white adriatic though, maybe we are spoilt by the other 4 trees.

I never thought after 1 year they would fruit to the capacity they did, maybe it's the constant talking and nurturing they receive.
