Wondering how to get more ripe figs? Choosing varieties suited to your growing conditions makes a big difference.
In this episode, we chat with fig expert Bob Duncan. Bob and his wife Verna run Fruit Trees and More, an experimental orchard and nursery on Vancouver Island. They have trialled over 200 varieties, focusing on those that produce a heavy breba crop.
Although their winters are mild, their summers are cool, meaning main crop figs often don’t ripen. Bob tells us about two varieties that work very well in his climate: Gentile Bianca has a very heavy breba crop; and San Antonio has a heavy breba crop along with an extremely early main crop.
See Bob’s video about these varieties.
