They are indeed, Tony. Triple Crown blackberries make up the other half of the equation.

@bluemalibu ... It really is a TRIPLE CROWN winning combination... You should explore commercializing that combination... it is so good that I would imagine, once tasted, people would just want to keep it on hand...

Well here's a few more recent pics, showing the leaves in closer detail with a few young figs... They are green and appear to be closed eyed.

Any idea what variety this is?

@Joe, This is the fruit of my Scicilian Bifere Just picked a couple today. If allowed to ripen on the tree. It's awesome and the birds for some reason keep missing this one.

Sas - The fact that you're picking figs today has me so green with envy I can't even explain. I'm still months from a fresh fig.

I KNOW THAT TREE! It's a total match with the Bifere trees/fruit growing on the family property just east of Palermo. It must be from the same region. Same lobes... Fruit looks identical.

Right now this is my biggest fig
