Greetings.  I've attached some pictures so if anyone can help me to properly identify this specimen, I would greatly appreciate the assistance.  The origin of this Fig Tree is Camporeale, Sicily.

After a several helpful posts and messages from fellow members, I think I've narrowed the list of possibilities to the ones listed below:

Sicilian Red
Red Sicilian
Sal's Corleone
Hardy Chicago

Any assistance in accurately identifying this awesome Fig Tree will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

Your fig looks like this one:  http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/ID-Help-Please-5978964

That tree is in CT, just (virtually) around the corner from you and shares a lot of the same qualities.

Can you cut a fruit in half (top to bottom) to show the interior?

I have uploaded a picture of a fruit cut in half.  Thanks for your help.

Nice fig

That Fig looks very firmiliar! I guess for now I have a Tentative LSU Scotts Black label on it. This wouldnt make sense seeing your tree traces back to Sicily. Ill keep an eye on this post as well.

Thank You Mike. I appreciate the assistance. Please let me know if any other pictures/info. would be helpful to post to try and help identify the type of Fig tree that I have. I have been trying to research several Italian species but have not come up with a definitive match.

Could be any number of things... I am surprised nobody else in the NE USA has jumped in and commented.  I'm on the fence... there are a number of similar varieties out there that ripen right around the time this one is.

Greetings,
After further research, I've learned that this Fig Tree came from the municipality of Camporeale which is in the Province of Palermo, Sicily.  Unfortunately, I have been unsuccessful in my ongoing attempt to identify this beautiful Fig Tree.  

After reviewing several posts from other members, I'm curious if this is a Sicilian Red, Sicilian Black, or similar variety to what I'm seeing within the forum.  The fruit of the Red Sicilian Figs that I have seen through pictures on this forum match mine exactly however, I'm on the fence about the leaves.

My original post has plenty of pictures and I'm asking the Fig experts in this forum to please help me identify this Fig.  Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

Linden

Linden,

    It is  indeed a fine-looking fig tree. It's great that you traced it down to Camporeale. I hope the other trees you mentioned are still going strong. It would be great if you could get starts of them, too.

From what I researched, there is a Sicilian Red and a Red Sicilian. Now here comes the kicker. Your fig looks like a Sicilian Red, the leaves in photo 5 (last photo) has a couple leaves that look like my 3 lobe Sicilian Red and the rest of the leaves have 5 lobes and look like Red Sicilian. Keep in mind that my Sicilian Red is only 2 years old and 5 foot compared to your large tree so the leaf shape can differ. Also, keep in mind that I am not an expert.

Hi LLB,
Italian roundish black fig, for me, this is a mont Etna type... Which one well, hard to say - Did you try to compare that tree to the "hardy chicago" for instance ?
Once the name is lost on a fig tree, it is really hard to find the right one especially in the fig family of the "mont etna" type .
Do you have new pics of the leaves and fruits .

Thank You.  I do not have any new pictures but the ones in post #1 and #3 are still relevant.  If it would help for any additional pictures, please let me know the specifics and I can take and upload some new shots.  I am interested in DNA testing though.  Has anyone ever had any luck with that?  What does it cost, etc.?  Dale sent me a link (thanks Dale) but I was wondering if anyone else has tried the DNA method and if you had success with it.  Thanks again for the posts and your assistance in helping me properly identify my Fig Tree.
