Once again i ask if anyone has plant they bought "personally" from Belleclare
BC#93: Fico Nera Napolitano that i can purchase.

So if anyone has bought that fig plant  themselves "direct" from Belleclare and wish to sell a small plant please contact me.

All others will be refused if not bought direct for personal reasons.

Gorgi has one for sale on eBay.

Yes but as originally post i want small plant from person that walked into Belleclare and bought one otherwise i have to pass.

 Martin,i do have 2 variants:Napoletana Nera and Vale Negra.I did not purchase them direct from BC.If i can help,let me known.  Marius

Bump.

Come on guys I am starting to feel bad for Martin. Somebody has to have a originally sourced BC #93. Badabump!

Martin, I bet if you contacted Willis Orchard they would have one for you that they picked up in person. LOL

I have a nice white fig he can have

I think I had one ,that was Fico nero,George M,gave it to me and it turned to be a brown fig when ripe.

No Herman,

Very possibly that was my BC#5 which I had mentioned something before about its non-blackness name.
5. NERO (Italy) (a) large, purple-red (wine color) dark center (2 crops).

I just only recently traded some BC#93 cuttings from a fig friend.
That is what Martin has been looking for quite a while, but he wants it only with some 'pedigee papers'...
#93 Fico Nera Napolitano-A popular Napolitano fig from Naples also called Fico Piccolino. Small to
medium, purple/black, blood red center.

Yes George,That is it:The description also state that is not Black which show they grew it to fruition and fruited for them.
Belleclare was one nursery that indeed could be trusted,as it can be seen in this example.

Can I buy one of those BC93? I don't care about the pedigree.

I'm curious too, what is so special about this fig? Is it taste, leaves, growth?

It is a new fig for me.

Martin's original asking for it, attracted my attention.
I guess that for Martin, it being a small DARK fig did it.
I recently offered him my spare rooting (free), but he declined.

For me anything, back traced from Belleclare is welcome...

I would like to buy the spare one.

Does anyone have pictures?? 

Sorry couldn't help it

There are actually about 2 going around by this name. One is from BC and another with different leaves.

I do not have either for comparison but all I know is they are different with same name.

I have a napolatina negra from spanot but it's not the same fig

The_celt, Welcome back! How was surfing? Thank you for the picture :-) I wanted one... I'm bidding on it, let's hope the other members will let me have it

Great and go for it

Martin,

Did you ever find your fig?
I have one and completely forgot all about it. I can't say it is or isn't direct from BC though.

Hasn't grown much at all, that's due to me neglecting it. Next season I will take better care of it.

George,

Did yours ever fruit?

Anyone have any pictures of the fruit?

Mine died and went to heaven.

Rafed no never found one.
