Conde

Conde was introduced by Thierry Demarquest of Figues Du Monde, France. Years ago, a young tree cost hundreds of dollars. Although its uniqueness is debated, with some considering it an upgraded Mt. Etna/Hardy Chicago type, it’s a really nice variety. My 28g fig has a smooth green body with red/brown ribbing and bottom, a long thin stem connecting to the neck, and a strawberry interior, though riper ones have a deeper red interior. It’s juicy, moderately sweet, and has a complex berry taste with a hint of tartness at this ripeness level. Given today’s pricing, it’s definitely worth growing for trial. #Conde
