Picked a few today, taste was very good, very sweet and juicy. Fig was dripping honey from the eye. Belleclare stock,three year old tree.                         Angelo NY zone 7A

Looks good, Angelo!

Will there ever be another Belleclare for fig lovers, and collectors?  I started to become aware of different fig varieties just as Belleclare was closing its doors, but I did have the pleasure of talking to Chris.  He taught me a lot about figs, and my first granular limestone came from his nursery.

Miss them.

Is this your homeland?  If so it must be a great feeling eating figs that you ate when you were a kid.

Hello Angelo.
That makes my mouthwater.
Enjoy

Ed,

Belleclare was a nursery in NY.

Angelo, that is a good looking fig. I like those large white figs with red centers!!

Now I want one those too!!  Looks dee-lish!!

As a kid I would climb huge trees in my fathers' orchard. I would eat figs till my belly hurt ,I was told. Yes, Bari Italy is my hometown.Vito ,I would have treated you with some of these at the figfest,but they were not quite ready.Barry,there is definitely something special about those white figs with red interior.Then again I find something special about all figs. Thanks for the comments,  everyone.   Angelo

Very nice looking fig, and a great story. Thank you for that.
