This one looks kinda like Brunswick.

Very pretty leaf you show and hope to see fig when ripen.
Thanks

I love looking at the beautiful figs on this forum, this is another one.

Here is another Calabrese that was perfectly ripe today. Very sweet like a brunswick.  Some of my Brunswick soured this week and they were protected.  The Cababrese is in the open and did not sour.

The brunswick I have is sure different then this one. This seems to be much better fig. The skin looks tougher, which in my mind is a good thing. i would bet yours doesn't explode with dampness. I believe yours is the one to have, and wouldn't mind growing myself. More then likely mine will get trashed because with just high humity it can explode. Could you tell me where I can find it. Thanks for showing.

It was purchased from TreesofJoy.  I had Brunswick figs sour this week so I'm thinking about getting rid of them too.

Some believe Calabrese Long to be a variant of Melanzana. Does anyone have both for a direct comparison?
