I often get asked, which fig is my favorite? Well, not all figs fruit at the same time, to do the head-to-head comparisons. However, I think the overall favorite was the Woodland Green in this season. It is a large green fig with juicy bright red interior. In the picture below it is the most left pile of fruits. Desert king in the lower part of the picture with PAS on the right. Woodland Green is the most juicy with the most bright/sharp and complex flavor.
This video https://youtube.com/shorts/Fp1427kC3fk goes over all of these three excellent figs.
Woodland Green is a productive midseason ripening fig, most likely of the Adriatic type. Another video cover just Woodland Green: https://youtube.com/shorts/Sc1BKP0xkDM
I really enjoyed eating majority of the fig fruits. Below will be the pictures of the plates I made sometime in summer. All figs there are wonderful fruits. This video covers my tasting results for these figs: https://youtu.be/ySZnar_bKJw
