Calderona Fig - Better than Black Madeira

Calderona is a fig variety from Pons' collection in Spain. I believe meaning cauldron because of its shape. I was very surprised to learn that the flavor is better than Black Madeira and it should be more consistent as well.

Do you think bff and calderona are the same? Didn’t know if you noticed any major differences between them. Thanks!

I'm growing a fig tree at the moment but I had never actually tasted a fig before, I just found the tree interesting and wanted to grow it, I tried some figs recently, they weren't bad but I think they could be better, I think my trees ones will be better lol

How many fig fruits did you harvest this year? Any estimate? With so many trees it’s got to be a ton. Do you sell the fruit locally or something?

Black madeira sometimes grows up so slowly and often splits.
