 I was lucky enough to obtain a small plant from who someone who lived around the corner from the famous  Belleclare nursery. The woman told  me that Chris Dipaola would go to her home to trim the tree to get cuttings.This tree was in ground for many years and has grown quite large. She has not covered the tree for several years due to this. I visited last September and was able to try the main crop ,which tasted very good. Amaziningly the tree was not receiving much direct sun but still manages to ripen it's fruit. I had targeted obtaining this tree stictly because I am from Bari.This morning I was able to pick a Breba from my tree,which tasted  sweet with a nice fig flavor.        Angelo    zone7 NY

She is not a collector by any means. The only other plant she had was a Brown Turkey,which had some huge leaves . The fruit on that tree not that tasty but still Ok for me. She has not been in contact with the Belleclare brothers for a few years.    I will however try to talk to her to see if that has changed.
