Figs look great! Malta seems to have a good number of great looking black figs. Still, you need a name / label or "handle" for these in order to easily communicate and share your thoughts about them with others. In the absence of anything better, what will you refer to this cultivar as?

Yes, a very nice fig, spread it around and maybe I'll get to try it in a few years. My father in law is from Malta. Nice we have so many I can offer him. Yet another, well possible one I may get before he won't care. He's 90. He doesn't remember any specific names of figs, they just were there! __________________ Drew Zone 5b/6a Sterling Heights MI
