The darker skinned selection of the Lucy apples, Lucy Rose has deep red skin and bright red flesh and a strong berry flavor. A very exciting red fleshed apple variety that came out of a breeding program in Washington state that was looking for apples with a deep red flesh but a sweet fresh eating flavor.
Lucy Glo is the lighter skinned selection of the Lucy apples and looks very similar to Mountain Rose with a dark red flesh that seems to almost bleed through the skin. Very sweet apple but with a tart berry flavor to balance the sweetness.
A unique fig from Southern France, Ravin de Calce is particularly handsome with shiny black skin and a bright strawberry flesh. Produces a decent sized breba crop followed by a very productive main crop. Both are delicious with flavors of sweet berries and honey!
A great mid season fig that also produces a decent sized breba crop, Sultane should certainly be added to the list of great dark berry figs for shorter seasons.
Another gem from Louisiana State University’s fig breeding program, Jack Lily is an excellent early to mid-season honey fig that like seemingly every other introduction, either formal or kept alive by enthusiasts, this one too resists splitting and retains an excellent flavor well into our wet falls
A delicious fig that ripens its main crop earlier than almost any other variety! Red Lebanese produces figs that are fairly small, but it’s part of what makes it so delicious to us is the flavor and texture of the skin balancing perfectly with the sweet flesh.
A uniquely shaped fig that is very squat with a flat bottom and a unique color and taste. We’ve been impressed with how early ripening this delicious fig is.
Always on the hunt for early ripening main crop figs, we tried this newly rediscovered variety after a friend shared scion with us and touted its early ripening, and it has not disappointed!
