First Taste | Panache / Tiger Fig
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- This runty Panache fig was purchased last year. It produced a couple of figs and this rookie fig grower made a disaster of things by picking too early. With a second chance, it was picked too late and something nibbled a good amount away.
With patience and great tips from fellow viewers, I pick and taste for the first time this ever so elegant fig.

A surer indication is whether it is easy to pick and whether the tree leaks latex from the spot from which you picked.
These are by far the most pretty looking figs i have ever seen ☺Thanks for sharing :))
What a neat looking fig, All figs make great fruit trees here i southern california!
They do! My brother is big into figs. He has quite a few collected.
Cool stuff! I've been wanting a Tiger Panache so bad and finally ordered one. Thanks for the video!
Ricky Atodaso Excited for you! It is such an awesome plant. Wishing you lots of fruit and soon! --brian
They are beautiful! I have never grown figs. So I am learning from you. :) Glad you liked the taste.
These are great. It's also great that we can learn from each other :D
Love your panache tree! It looks sooo beautiful and yummy
Thanks! It has grown lots since and is probably going to make loads more this year.
It didn’t look like you enjoyed it that much.
It looked more like you were eating medicine 😂
Thanks for sharing man ❤️
Some people are very dry in front of a camera!
I don't understand ppl who dislike figs... they are so delicious
I love the video man.Good content.Keep up the good work.
Interesting looking fig. Nice it tastes good too. Best wishes Bob.
This one is really up my alley!
You did a great job,
The fig looks very pretty! When you cut it, it looked so delicious! 😊
Yeah, the variety makes such pretty looking fruit. Then on top of that, it has a jammy center. What more can you ask of it??
Congratulations! Lovely looking fig. I've been growing figs for few years here in Nashville TN. They are wonderfully addictive plants. I now need a Tiger fig tree.
Thank you, Dan. Greets from southern California. Nashville is a great place. My family and I spent a day in Nashville last December (on our road trip back home from FL). The Tiger fig is an all around great fig! Looks great and tastes amazing. I agree, figs are wonderful plants to collect. My brother is more of the fig collector than me. Currently, I've only got space to collect citrus. --brian
Hey Dan. Would love to connect with you. I’m also in Nashville and a fig fan
Beautiful figs on it im planning on buying one of these trees. I got a purple fig tree and then will buy this one too will be my 2nd fig tree can never have enough figs
Edit: Also harvesting basket full of mixed purple and green striped figs will be awesome
Thank you. This plant has grown up (15 feet tall and wide) and I am harvesting this year's crop. I will tell you, purple and green is awesome! I don't have a lot of room so two fig varieties is all I can fit. The other is a purple one-- Violet De Bordeaux. They are coming in at the same time now.
I hope you find your panache fig plant to grow.
Hey Brain, glad you were able to get one this time and you liked it. T
Very beautiful fruit, very interesting, greetings from Indonesia and good luck always..
Hello back at you from California. Thanks about the fruit. The plant has since grown a lot and it is a full and beautiful plant with delicious and beautiful fruit 🙂
My mouth is watering!
:D
You're a lucky bugger!!! I want to have some figs so badly! I'm not sure how long it'll be until my tree produces... but she's off to a great start! I'm definitely excited for it!
Definitely do feel lucky how they are so neat looking and edible too! Figs grow quickly relative to many fruit trees. Your tree will fruit before you know it!
from a baby stick i think its about 2 years ish and they should show fruit but typically its around 3 years for most figs.
Great video! Thanks♡♡
Omg, that looked perfect. I just got that fig tree as well, but i doubt i will get any ripe this year. I cannot wait for to have a giant fig tree!
Such beauty outside and in. You're going to enjoy it. I dont think you'll get tired looking the tree. Mine is a runt when it was purchased so I am sure that your fig will get giant in no time. Does your tree have any fruit on it? Someone suggested to me that I apply a little bit of olive oil on the fruit to hasten the ripening process.
I really want to grow figs!!! Those are beautiful!!!!
These are fantastic. Not very often do you get something that looks great and taste great also. Often it is one or the other.
Beautiful looking figs, my Hawaii #9 sown in Western Canada is doing ok as I started out door in first week of June.
They are not disappointing this year. Though the plant could use more foliage, heh. WESTERN CANADA! I've also got two okra plants going and they have produced some great okra. I've snacked on a few straight off the plant. They crunchy thin skin makes them great for snacking. Okra update coming "soon." =/
Never Enough Dirt My okra is very small and will certainly not produce anything, I started very late, I will wait for your update as want to see how Pakistani verity is doing.
Yes i have had one before but i did not make it , not sure what i did wrong as i have about 15 or so different varieties and at different stages, but i will try again the fruit is spectacular looking, very intresting, ok thanks for the reply stay safe friend and keep growing on lol
Awesome looking figs i have a few varieties also but have not gotten my hands on a panache,
This fig plant is really taking off now. It is a nice one to grow. It both looks and tastes great. They are popular now and can be more easily found.
I like the look of the Panache fig too..the outside and inside is very pretty. Our recent picks are not very sweet, probably is not ripen enough to produce the sweetness.
It's been mostly fun learning when to pick the perfect fig. This one is going to require a good amount of heat to ripen. Great that you're growing this one too!
Enjoyed your Tiger Fig sometimes known as Panache.
Hoping to purchase a plant in Melbourne Australia
Thanks. This plant has gotten much bigger since and the fruit are jelly like in my warm climate. I bet Melbourne is warm too so that will be a good one to grow. I hope you find one.
After this first taste, it looks like we have more opportunities to taste this fig in the near future. With this fig, I plucked it because of the fear that something may get to it before I can (like last year). With the next fig, I am going to wait a little longer and see if the taste is any different. --brian
Never Enough Dirt not sure. Lol.
mak nyus oll woo hoo.
@Never Enough Dirt will the Panache tiger survive in zone 7 if so where can I order from?
Thanks for the video but it broke my heart when you pulled that fig off because it needed another day or two to be perfect I would highly suggest resist picking a fig that is not drooping. Put it in an organza bag to keep the insects off of it. You will not be disappointed!
What kind of fertilizer you use....your fig tree look so good
It is my understanding that figs do not require too much attention. If I do fertilize, I would have used a product by Kellogg Garden.

I enjoyed your video, do you have any trouble with yellowing of the leaves on that particular fig tree?
Hello, Chris. The yellowing comes normally at the end of the season when the temperatures start to cool off. When winter comes around, it would have dropped all it's leaves. (I dunno how I missed your comment, just seeing it now.)
Great for smoothies!
That's a good idea. My wife doesnt really like fig but she likes smoothies.
Hi Brian,
I've been lurking your channel for about a half a year now. First of all, I just wanted to thank you for the wealth of knowledge you have provided for a newbie first year gardener like myself. You do a wonderful job of breaking everything down and give a very clear and thorough explanation of the subject matter. I first stumbled across your channel because I was researching different holy basil types. Thank you for that very informative video. I still have yet to get my hands on the coveted Krishna holy basil, but hopefully I do in the future. I absolutely love basil!
While watching another video a while back, I realized you live very close to where I work. I actually saw you drive by my workplace lol. I was just wondering if you got your Panache fig from the SGV Nursery? The last time I was there, I noted they had a label for some, but none in stock. My mother loves figs, and I have a friend in Florida that goes nuts for anything with variegation, so I was planning on eventually sending her a cutting when my fig got big enough. I was hoping to find somewhere to get my hands on one for the both of them. Thank you once again, and don't stop making wonderful and informative content! :)
-Ann
Hi, Ann. Very nice to hear from you. It's absolutely my pleasure. I am glad that the holy basil video was helpful. I too got very curious and quickly found that there was information scattered about. That's my best attempt at gathering all up ;) Thank you for sticking around and the vote of confidence.
Very cool, if you ever see me out and about, don't hesitate to say hello. :) I did get this Panache fig from the SGV Nursery. That has been my plan as well, to grow this fig big enough to get a cutting for my fig-loving brother. So far, it is not growing as planned, lol. I followed advice about treating it rough to encourage growth (limited watering). I've since gone 180 on that advice and am giving it a good and regular drink.
After purchasing this fig, I saw some robust stock at the Armstrong Garden Center in Pasadena. You know how it is with plant stock, they rotate in and out. You may want to check there or other Armstrong Garden Centers throughout the year.
This is getting to be a popular fig so chances are good that you'll come across one real soon. I think your mom will really enjoy this fig. I can relate with your friend in FL ;D That reminds me, I forgot to continue my variegated banana search. Thanks, I'll try to keep at the videos :) :)
I wouldn't be surprised if in the past we ran into each other, and had absolutely no clue. :o Your fig looks so healthy in your video though! I bought some cheap cuttings from an online site and they were literally sticks stuck in some dirt when they arrived. They have many more years to go 'til maturity. :/
Oh my, I frequent Armstrong's as well. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the Panache there the last few times I went.
My friend from Florida is also a banana fiend. She has done a lot of research on bananas. I believe she currently has about seven different varieties. According to her, the Namwa Musa is one of the better tasting varieties, and there is a variegated version of it. She actually recently bought this exact listing:
www.ebay.com/itm/182693382672
It was a bit pricey because of the variegation, but maybe you kind find one cheaper elsewhere. Unfortunately the variegation is only in the leaves unlike the Panache. I eventually really want to get a Blue Java, but they are super pricey and it's common for people to sell a Namwa as a Blue Java, because it takes 2-3 years for the buyers to find out that the fruits aren't blue. :( So be wary of that if you ever consider one of those.
Heh, we probably ran into each other at the various garden centers and nurseries without noticing, hehe. The great thing about figs is that they grow pretty quickly and can fruit when the plants reach three feet tall (at least that's what I saw on one of my brother's cuttings).
Namwa Musa, good to know. Due to limited space, fig and bananas are lower on my list of plants to collect. But for my brother, they are high on his. I am going to pass this along to him.
Nice score on that variegated banana. I was afraid that they are still triple digit. Maybe it can fit into next year's budget, hehe. Last September, I ordered a Blue Java from Wellsprings Garden. It was probably 10-inches tall and is now three feet. I think I have another year or two to go before we see banana. Hopefully their supplier supplied them with a real Blue Java. But it sounds like if not, Namwa is a good consolation.
That's really good to know. Makes purchasing cuttings definitely worth it! :D
Yup. Space is a huge issue for me. You're lucky you have all that nice space to plant stuff directly into the ground. 80% + of my garden consists of containers. :( I hope he finds the perfect banana for the right price soon!
Yup, she lucked out on that one. At least we know what to maybe hunt around for now. Oh Wellsprings. I've purchased from them too. The fig twigs I mentioned I purchased for my mom in an earlier comment were from wellsprings. I checked recently and i was really sad to see that they did away with that free plant with every order deal. :( Oh wow very nice! Healthy plant! I didn't know they had a Blue Java on there. I see it now. For that price I wouldn't even be mad if it turned out to be a Namwa.
Only pick them when they are dropping down or drooping and very soft--
YUMMY
Was wondering when panache figs get stripes? I have a few 1in figs on my tree but they are just green.
I havent kept an exact tracking but I believe that it takes a couple of months to develop stripes (here in Los Angeles). This year's crop has had their stripes for about a month now. --brian
1-inch but green, hmmm.. Doesnt bode well. Sometimes nurseries mislabel their plants and it could be the case here. However, it's not over until it's over. Until the fruit is ripe, there may be a shot that the stripes come in. Additional, on my tree, the leaves are ever so slightly variegated. The leaves have patches of a different hue of green.
p.s. Are you in a warm climate? The fruit needs warm weather to ripen. If you're in a cool climate, that could be a factor. I dont know for sure because I have not seen how this tree behaves in climate that isnt warm like Los Angeles and Phoenix.
Never Enough Dirt Thanks for the info! I live In Texas it's near 100 degrees this time of year. I was getting a little worried when I didn't see strips. Guess I just need to be a little more patient lol
Absolutely. Greetings from CA :) Definitely warm enough at those temps. I bet you're gonna get hug figs! I would love to know how they turn out.
YUM!
Your fig looks very tasty in comparison to mine. Mine was a bit dry.
Someone once said that, "you eat with your eyes." So yeah, the strawberry jam looking center does make this a tasty fig ;) Which one did you pick up, again?
Maybe you have a Kadota and Brown Turkey (two popular varieties)
Can I ask where did you purchased the fig tree from? I've been searching online but I can't find any trustworthy site.
I purchased this fig plant from a local nursery. They are becoming more and more available. I have seen them at the major home improvement chains (HD and Lowes) in the Los Angeles area. If you're looking for a reputable online retailer, check out groworganic.com

@@neverenoughdirt Thank you Sir!
You can look for cuttings on Figbid.com or sometimes on amazon too. Right now I’ve just seen 1 seller from amazon has it. $60 for 3 cuttings. I’m gonna order soon before they’re gone.
As the fig tree gets older the figs get bigger (general rule). Also do not remove figs just feed them.Good luck
Thanks for the info! So far, very happy with what it has produced and looking forward to next year.
I 'fig'ure I'll try growing some figs this year ;)
Love it! Dont figetaboutit!!
XD
I have never eaten this type of tin
I was wondering if I could buy couple of 10 inche cutting?
Thanks for the offer. I dont have extra plant material to take cuttings from. I am not sure that you would want the cutting from this particular plant. It seems that I got a runt. It didnt look great to begin with and it hasnt grown all that much since bringing it home.
Good morning
How did you make it multiple colors fig. I want to buy this kind of fig tree.
What is the name of this kind of fig.
Panache
Where do you guy the garlic sleeves?
If you mean seed garlic, I have been happy purchasing from Filaree Farm. For smaller orders, Botanical Interests. Both purchased online.
Seed garlic is in huge demand and prices are steep. Organic store garlic is a good source too.
Do you sell fig trees and if you do do you ship outside of the country i live in the bahamas and i would like to start a fig collection please let me know thank you
Sorry, I dont currently sell plants.
Hey, can you sell a piece of wood of this kind of fig?
I really want a fresh FIG. Here in Denver zone 6a ,Considering growing in pots the Chicago hardy , Smith and black Madeira. Bringing inside for the winter. Peace.

I have a question is this a female but fig tree??
As far as I know, there is no sex different in fig plants. The fig is both male and female.
Would you Sell any cuttings?
Sorry, current not selling cuttings. If you're looking for a tree, one of my favorite citrus and fruit companies has them: www.fourwindsgrowers.com/products/panache-fig-tree?_pos=1&_sid=5c3b97938&_ss=r
FYI if you have a milky white sap coming out of the stem it is not ripe.
That is good to know. Thanks for the comment.
@@neverenoughdirt You are welcome.
Are they self pollinating?????
Figs are self pollinating, yes.
@@neverenoughdirt some of them are not tho. I have this oro fig and its fruits will turn yellow and just fall to the ground. It never riped. Someone told me that it needs a pollinator. But i read that oro figs are self pollinating.
hmm. interesting.
@@neverenoughdirt im living in the Philippines. Do climates affects? We have a tropical country
@@jennicasevilla1594 In my experience with figs and with my brother growing many varieties: figs like it hot and a chance for the soil to dry out. In a tropical climate there is usually greater rainfall. Maybe wet soil is a big factor?
Give me seeds
No
😂

Thanks for sharing! My Tiger Stripe has some small figs growing and I cant wait to taste them! Newest sub...check out my channel, we have some things in common.
They look like tiny hot air balloon’s
Haha. They do.
Man I came for a taste test and I had to watch 4:00 minutes till anything was tasted. Way too much talking lol. You talk so slow its painful to have to watch.
