Hello! Good question! Shahmani is the sweetest of all these varieties, with a rougher skin than Yellow Long Neck, and its skin has cracks. The taste of YLN is more complex, but the pulp is less juicy. Kadota and Einekhi have a mulberry flavor, some people like it, some don't. Einekhi can crack when over-watered, YLN does not. Kadota is earlier ripening, Shahmani is medium, YLN and Einekhi are later. In general, each variety has its own characteristics that will find their consumer.. Sincerely, Figs in Israel
Hello! I don't know yet - life has become unpredictable.. Please write to me in December at figstaste@gmail.com What country are you from? Sincerely, Figs in Israel
Shalom shalom, thank you for sharing the insights into your figs. I have 3, well 4 very young trees. Had one fig on, but not much else..I am just off western Sahara, so a bit hotter and dryer.....any ideas as to what is the likelihood of me actually eating my home grown figs?
@@SraNje-t2r Hello! Thank you for your interest in my channel! I looked at today's weather report in Dakhla - the temperature and humidity there, on the coast, are very suitable for successful fig growing. If your garden are located far from the coast, and it is drier and very hot there, then success will be provided with good irrigation (drip irrigation is better) and the selection of varieties adapted to such conditions. Such varieties are probably known to gardeners in Western Sahara. Regarding the harvest - In the third year of cultivation, some varieties are just beginning to give the first figs, and they do not yet have full size and taste. But with each subsequent year, the yield and quality of figs improve. Other varieties can give figs from the first year of planting, but it is not a fact that they will be adapted to your conditions. I wish you successful cultivation and good harvests! Sincerely, Figs in Israel
Lovely to see . Thank you for sharing . Cheers
Thank you!

In your opinion, how does this variety compare to other honey figs(Kadota, Eineki, shahmani)?
