- In this video, Ross introduces the fig variety "Pastiliere," highlighting its reputation as a top choice among fig enthusiasts due to its excellent taste and adaptability to various climates. He discusses the theory behind fruit dropping in Pastiliere and emphasizes the importance of providing adequate sunlight to prevent this issue while showcasing the fig's impressive qualities and flavors.
Pastiliere was one of the most pleasant surprises in 2023. No wonder many well-respected fig growers would choose this fig if they could only grow one variety. I’ve noted no dropping on my 2-year-old container Pastiliere tree. It’s a sugar fig approaching a strong berry flavor/fruitiness. It’s filled with mountains of fig nectar and is very sweet. My young tree is also very productive even producing doubles at specific nodes.

I gave two tree’s, Pastilliere and Feather River three years to be productive, both failed even on the third year. I got rid of both trees because of the issues you stated. Thanks for making your point. I wasted time and fertilizer to see these two trees be unproductive. They were both in the sunniest spot of my fig orchard. Not only did Pastilliere drop, the fruit was very small. I have other varieties that were more productive and better quality fruit.
Source matters. There is a source of Pastiliere that's actually the Unk and isn't common.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Funny that you just posted this because two of mine in the green house have woken up and have a bunch of figs already.
My Pastilliere Baud has dropped all its fruits in its first 2 years so I'm hoping I can get it going this year. It puts on so many figs and to see them all drop is frustrating. Pastilliere from Raintree is on my list.
Limit pruning! Open up your canopy. Best of luck.
Wow
I'm korean #figkorea
Thanks for the video Ross. I have a cutting growing nicely called unknown pastiliere (I’m sure I spelled that wrong). Do you know what the “unknown” part is? Does that mean unknown source?
4 years ago. Finally.
Do you find any Pastiliere differences? Taste, shape, etc. Different Pastiliere look different from each other
Are Pastiliere and Unknown Pastiliere the same? I have seen Unk Pastiliere described as a Smyrna type.
The Unk was thought to be Pastiliere and was given the name incorrectly. It's a Smyrna that requires pollination and has a very strong berry flavor. It's very tasty.
I am dying to try this fig, but its a slow fruiter. I've already had 2 or 3 seasons of UNK Pastiliere, but yet to see much from the og Pastiliere. Which do you prefer Ross, and how would you compare the flavors? By the color I imagine it tastes like a much better VdB, but can't wait to experience it for myself firsthand.
What’s the difference between Unknown Pastiliere and Pastiliere?
The Unk was thought to be Pastiliere and was given the name incorrectly. It's a Smyrna that requires pollination and has a very strong berry flavor. It's very tasty.
Hi Ross...can you please do a video on Brunswick fig if you have in your collection..thank you
I'm sorry. I don't grow it anymore. It's one of the worst varieties for humid areas.
@@RossRaddi yeah you're right...i do struggle a lot
Is this the same as Rouge de Bordeaux
Yes.
Hi @rossraddi Is there any commonality between Pastilliere and Unk Pastilliere other than confusing name? It’s coincidence that a lot of people also say Unk Pastilliere is the 1 fig they would have (Unk I ‘think’ must have caprification but I think that is still debated?) thanks
