Description
Amarcord was found in Aiguillon, Lot et Garonne, France and was brought to the fig world by Thierry Demarquest. It has intense red colored pulp and a flattened, oblate shape. It seems like it may have a tendency toward larger or open ostioles.
I haven’t had too many figs off of my tree but the ones so far are showing a lot of promise with a hint of a strong raspberry flavor that wants to come through but isn’t quite making it yet. Hopefully the flavor will come through more in later figs as it has a lot of potential to be a star. At the moment, it looks prettier than it tastes but I think it will improve and even now it is an enjoyable fig as is.
