I find that we can preserve the origins of figs trees if we name them appropriately, Agde is in France and should be Noire d'Agde instead of Negra which is applied to Spanish-found figs. Hopefully collectors will start to notice the discrepancies in the difference names which can really lead to identificstion confusion down the line and stick to a system that works. I suggest the country of origin to be used as the language for any descriptive words in the name.
This tree was found by who I believe is a Spanish grower. Hence the Negra in the name. If you want to call it Noire d'Agde, then so be it. I don't think anyone will be upset. I'm gonna continue to call it what the finder named it.
@@RossRaddi I see your logic there and can't argue against it but I still think collectively as a community we'd have a stronger identification system if we came together and had at least a set of basic rules we accept when it comes to naming. Just my opinion of course. Thanks for the detailed videos 👍
@@peppe-urbanfoodgrowing8921 "collectively as a community we'd have a stronger identification system if we came together and had at least a set of basic rules we accept when it comes to naming" - holding my breath, starting... NOW. Seriously, though, it sounds good, but in reality just leads to disagreements that can't be resolved. Just keep one name, the same name, not a great solution, just better than the other options. Until genetic testing.
@@dchambers986 Unfortunately I find most of the disagreements in this community arise when people take their ego too seriously. Sadly many of the conversations had on social media and in forums revolve around naming 'rights' and lack of research etc - it's a fickle world!
I agree the flavor is actually a surprise to me when I bite into it, its sweet refreshing, not too crunchy, and produces well, I have had mine in ground for only a year, and its a nice surprise. Ross do you cut down those in grounds, how do you protect?? I seen one of your videos you were using hay… I dont know if that would keep too much moisture over winter, we certainly had a weird winter in TX, 2 inch thick ice , haven’t seen that in 50+ years they say, so I want to protect mine this winter, plan is to wrap with burlap and vinyl/plastic tarps. Thoughts anyone?
My Negra D'Agde is growing vigorous and with beautiful fruit in my 9B Florida area. It's rain resistance is really excellent.
This is a crazy variety. Mine grows and fruits at the same time. Airlayers were constantly upgraded because of the growth. Great flavor.

The title of the video spells it wrong, adding more to the confusion! Ha I'm sure it was a typo.

Ross another great video; how are your pomegranate and citrus trees doing? Thanks
They're doing well. The citrus have fruit and will ripen during the winter.
I agree the flavor is actually a surprise to me when I bite into it, its sweet refreshing, not too crunchy, and produces well, I have had mine in ground for only a year, and its a nice surprise.

Straw then tarps for me.
so what is your standing opinion on this variety so far in the season, i recently acquired this one..
What is swd again? I'm not sure if I've ever seen this in my figs here in CT. I'm not familiar with it and is it dangerous to eat figs with it? Thx

It is French
Agde is a French city
Sometimes the best ones take a while to put out.
