Well, there were a few last summer, but they were very small and didn't get ripe enough to eat.

I'm in Columbus Ohio, harvested today!

   

Nice looking Greg

Lovely !! How did they taste?

It was delicious! Sweet but mild and nutty.  My toddler refused to try it though.

Thanks for Sharing, I have a grafted Preto with 2 green figs, I will have my turn to....LOL    Keep Posting Pics.

Nice looking fig -  is it breba or main crop?

Figo Preto, round 2!

Much better this time properly ripe and even a drop of honey!

Thanks for the report, Greg!  Mine aren't too far behind.

Preto is great tasting fig and yours looks perfect Couldn't help to notice, I had the same wedding ring when married to my ex, wish you much better luck then I had

lol thanks Barry

Greg, it looks super sweet! Oh, and you have a beautiful deck. Gorgeous layout with the steps and middle landing.

Beautiful fig. It's my favorite. My toddler won't try it either. Congrats!

Greg/Rafael, can either of you compare it to Black Madeira? Some folks think it may be the same.

Mike,
I have the same question.

Frank,
Yours look great. I'm going to try and find something you want and trade for cuttings of yours. Any ideas?

I have it growing side by side with Black Madeira that I have also harvested this year.  It is definitely not the same.  Not the color, not the taste, not the shape, not the fruit cycle, not the leaf shape!

Will take side by side pictures for you tomorrow.

By 'tomorrow', I meant I had to go look at the difference for myself right away.

Admittedly the leaves do look pretty similar in these pics, but you can see the difference in lobes somewhat.  The fruit comes in much differently.  BM comes in with this pale green upright fig then it stays the same for a while then one day swells up big and purple then turns black.  Figo Preto has much darker green straight fruit that speckles black onto the green then just fills in black.  At least that has been my experience with them this year.

My Black Madeira also tasted significantly better than my Figo Preto.

All of these are my Black Madeiras right now:
         

These are my Figo Preto leaves right now:
   

Greg, thanks and I do see a resemblance in the two leaves but my FP has not fruited yet so I can
no compare the fruit.

The leaf is really similar looking but still looks distinguishably different to me. 

Looking through old photos, I found this picture of the original fruit I started this thread with back before it was ripe, and in this pic it resembles my ripening BM's very closely.  Hmmmm.

 

And here's one from roughly the same time of BM coming into ripe:
 

On thing all of the Black Madeira fruits of mine have in common is the purple speckling around the eye of the green fig.  None of my FPs have had that.

I need to repot my Preto, growing too slow. My Black Madeira is kicking butt, 2 months younger than Preto and 2.5 times larger. Similar leaves.
