This tree will take a long time to produce, and a slow grower but worth the wait. Taste wise, this late variety is extremely hard to beat. __________________ Sas from North Austin TX Zone 8B Wish list: Becane

Last year Bellone was my No.1 tasting fig over many big names De la Reina, I258, Noir de Caromb etc.

Paully, How would you compare it to Kathleen's Black, Noire de Caromb or Maltese Falcon in taste? __________________ Ross - Zone 6B/7A - Philadelphia My Cultivar List / Pictures! / My YouTube

I have not heard of this variety. Sounds interesting with its ancient history __________________ RICHIE BONI HICKORY LOUISIANA ZONE 8B WARM HUMID WINRERS ARE VERY MILD LOW 20'S BUT WARMS RIGHT UP DURING THE DAY.

@Ross -- I like Bellone over the 3 named figs.
