Womack, I think your question was for me.
The skin was not tough at all. It was perfect.
No I did not get his Unknown Molise black. I have Acciano, Troiano Calabrese, and Salce.

I've only had a Salce root out of that group of cuttings, but I'm not giving up yet.

Don't give up! I am glad to see this thread. I thought I was the only one having difficulty rooting Acciano. Salce and Troiano Calabrese (TC) rooted for me and some of both survived the notably cold winter. TC was full of brebas, but they all dropped in the cold, wet spring. Last year's figs were good, though, even from  first producing year tree. However, I must say that your Acciano, Art, looks just way too tempting not to have. Struggle on, everyone!

Can somebody send me a cutting, I want to root it for the record! I'm serious.

"Look what I found today among my 1 gallon pots. I must be getting old. How did I missed this."

Nice, Pete.  I wish I could just walk out into my yard and find out that I forgot something as nice as an Acciano fig...It's like getting a present!

Kubota,
Thanks for answering my question. I spelled your tag right before but the computer changed it. For me I was lucky enough to get Salce, acciano, Troiano calabrese, unknown Molise black, and Mario unknown yellow(probably dottato ) to root. I am glad that the taste was so good for you andlook forward to tasting this variety again.

Ditto....0 for 3 of Acciano, but all 3 of my Salce rooted and are doing fine thankfully.  Looking forward to the Acciano challenge next year. : )

Geeesh, after reading the previous posts, I feel most fortunate or lucky to get one out of three of my Acciano to root.   One was a no root and think the gnats got the other.    My Acciano cuttings were courtesy of F4F member Bill…..“Saxonfig”.    It has two nice branches forming, looks like it was fast to root but, hasn't quite taken off yet.   As evidenced in photo below, my surviving Acciano is nowhere near as vigorous in growth as his class mates of 2014.    Assuming it makes it to graduation, I’m looking forward to sampling next year.   

 

 

I just had to show this nice looking fig. I've had quite a few of these. They've all been good.

Resembles my Aldo's fig very much.

Leon, I started to think the same. It sure resembles my Sicilian Red and Sal's Corleone.

Do you have an Acciano?

Healthy bunch. Great job Art.

Once again, firms my resolve.

This was one that i got to root and had growth then just died suddenly for no reason. I was excited because I had about 200 cutting that I was working with and I failed at most. I'm sure its grower error so Next year I am taking it slower and will focus on just a few. Sort of hard to do on this site because they all look so good. :). 

I have Acciano but it is a young plant. However, of the few photos of the fig and the leaves I have seen, it resembles my Aldo's fig. I wish more photos of this fig could be posted to make a definite opinion. 

Leon, I will post more pictures as they ripen. I have had a bunch this year. Keep us posted when you compare the two together. If you have any problems with your Acciano I can help you out with another.

Ah, beautiful pictures!  I am sad to hear so many could not root this variety. I'd guess I am not the only one that cannot make them all grow from the start.

I have had a bit of success, with troubled cutting by just putting them in a cup of water and waiting for roots to appear, I had 3 cuttings take by this method this year that I just couldn't propagate normally, smith cutting was 1 I struggled with.

Leon, Here are a couple more ripe Acciano. These are little smaller than the ones on the tree. They will be ripe tomorrow or the next.

Thanks , Art. I will cry myself to sleep tonight.

Real nice Art, I one real small Acciano that I am babying to get it to grow. I am about to repot it for stimulation, different mixture that drains better. Is post #16 the size of your tree?

Wayne,

Yeah, that's the one. I do have a couple smaller ones.
