May I put you all out of your misery on the matter of fig varieties and
taste? Try White Marseille and you will never look back. When ripe
it is almost round in shape and the size of a satsuma, light green in
colour, with a thin outer skin and flavour to die for.
It was the first fig variety to arrive in England in
Elizabethan times. The original plant, in the courtyard garden of Lambeth Palace
[the Archbshop of Canterbury's home in London], has now spread to be 30-40
subsidiary trunks and the whole makes a canopy maybe 50 feet in length.
