This is a childhood fig I remember eating during my infancy in Cucchiano Calabria. I am happy to report that it is doing well in Florida's hot humid climate. It is prolific, close-eyed and very good tasting. I believe it is a variant of Sicilian Red. Apologies for the poor picture quality. __________________ Frank Tallahassee, FL Zone 8b North Florida Figs

Looks great, I agree, very similar to Sal Corleone aka Sicilian Red or so some say. If it is the same or similar, they should be very sweet .

Looks like my Aldo's Palermo Red which is very prolific and figs/leaves look the same.
