Maybe someone can ID his green figs...
Lee Reich has shone a light on many lesser known fruits, check out his take on figs.

His fig pictures are labeled as 'Rabbi Samuel'.  Anyone hear of that one before?  Maybe just a label to remind him of where it came from?

Rabbi Samuel is in NYC, he has a fig tree where one of Lee's friend collected it.

Hi,
Not enough pics for identifying. I'm surprised by the small size of the figs in July .
The guy could make his article more interesting with pics every 2 weeks to see his espalier growth and of course ripe fig pics :).
