This BRAND NEW Fig Tree I Developed Is INSANELY Good!

In this video, I share a brand new fig variety I developed as part of my fig tree breeding project! Three years ago, I began a longterm project breeding figs to develop new high quality fig trees from seed. This new variety of fig tree is the second fig seedling of the lot to ripen its crop, and its fruit blew me away with how insanely good it is! You simply must see this to believe it!
This fig tree is a cross between UCR 271-1 Saleeb (father tree) and Del Sen Jaume Gran (mother tree). Del Sen Jaume Gran is one of my favorite figs, but it struggles in rain and is very late to ripen. The goal of this cross was to develop a new fig with the outstanding size and taste of Del Sen Jaume Gran, but as an earlier season fig with more rain resistance. This fig appears to be successful, because it has the same incredible flavor, but with a shorter "hang time" to ripening.
In this video, I share a full profile of the fig, a taste test and an update of my fig breeding experiment and the progress of the other fig tree seedlings.

I live in Central Pennsylvania, bought a fig tree at a gardeners event many years ago. It was a cutting and she said her parents brought it from Italy so maybe some kind of Mediterranean fig. It was a green skinned fig and very prolific. I planted it in a giant tractor tire because I knew that it would have suckers and I think that helped to keep it warm. In the summer it had so many fig wasps that it was actually hard to get near the tree as the figs were ripening. I finally learned to ignore them and just pick figs that weren't currently occupied. The figs were like flowers and would actually open like blooms if left on the vine. I used to make jelly and can them because I would harvest buckets and buckets in some years. I never opened a fig or bit into a fig that had a wasp inside. Sadly, we sold the house last year fairly suddenly and I was unable to get cuttings to root. 😞 I do have pictures....

Congratulations! Appreciate your dedication to the project. Very educational. I'm in a coastal area of central Honshu Japan - maybe quite similar climate zone and just yesterday got my best harvest (8 figs!) from a tree I started from a branch tossed away from a neighbor's pruning - this 7 or 8 years ago. Was able to get several branches to root in water, moved them to containers for a couple years and planted one in sandy soil and another in a harder, almost subsoil. Both survived but the one in sandy soil is much larger and started bearing fruit last year, the other has yet to bear anything. No idea about the variety - fairly large and purple - not strawberry jam level, but we (and crows and other critters) like them. Just by way of pointing out that it's possible to get good results from a simple approach, too.

The 21st century Mendel of Figs...beautiful work !!! Perhaps you may have discovered the "secret" to producing "PF" with the manner in which you hand/syringe pollinated or the manner in which you prepared it ??? or not. Maybe not such a secret for increasing ratio of parthenocarpy yet nonetheless very impressive work. I, too, happen to love figs of all varieties. I used to climb a fig tree in my neighborhood in Walnut Creek, CA and sit and eat ripe figs all day long or until I had my belly full and/or my buddies would all gather for a football game !!!!

I was thinking if you get a caprifig son of one of tour favourite female figs you might want to use it for future breeding, but would you be able to tell if it had inherited the persistence gene? Very cool, I’ve been following your project for a while now. Must be exciting after these first couple to see how the rest turn out.

Is it possible that you will sell your new variety in the future to spread the generics? I would be interested in a new fig that might grow here in 7b

You have added another fig convert to the list of your viewers. Now I have to go back and watch all the fig videos about 5 times each. A couple of trees will definitely be on my list next spring from a nursery somewhere.

Love this channel. I have learned so much from you. Nothing to do with figs, but I live just west of Philly and have grown a small 10’ x 12 ‘ garden for 20 years. I always put 6 cucumber plants along the rear, Tomato, eggplant, a few different peppers, basil. My cucumbers were good for about a month and died off. Yellow cucumbers went to the compost pile. 😂NOW I KNOW WHY. Now after watching many of your videos, I am getting 2, 3, 4, 5 cucumbers a day off 2 plants. There are almost a dozen more growing as I type this (Sept 1). I also am using your suggested string trellis system, along with the sun shade. My garden gets all day sun. That sun shade is BRILLIANT! Keep up the great videos. Thank you for making me a better gardener.

A lot of gardeners are stubborn and/or ritualistic/religious/dogmatic in their approach and forget that the gardener needs to grow as well! So don't forget to also thank yourself for making you a better gardener :D

I live in Nova Scotia and love figs. We never have them in the stores and none of the nurseries carry the trees. Not sure I could grow them here so I live vicariously through you.
