[edit] The Title should read GT-9. I guess I had a bad brain-fade.

















Huge, mild, sweet, juicy.

It looks a pretty looking small fig (with pleasing tint).
It is mentioned as Gorgi's GT-2 (or GT-9). Does it mean Gorgi has tested it in the northeast? I will appreciate if Gorgi (or any one else) can comment on its ripening schedule. As has always been said here and there that smaller figs tend to ripen early. I hope this one ripens early too.

It is GT-9. I just had a brain fade when I posted. it.

It was a random cutting from a Greek neighborhood in Baltimore. Gorgi sent me a cutting, as a backup to his, and this is the first fruit that either of us has had. Part of the fun of figuring out unknowns, Maybe it turns into something quite good in the end. Second fig was misformed and dryish. There is one more left, so we'll see what happens, and then it is wait another year to try again.

As I understood it, it came from an in-ground tree that was most likely not protected, probably older than the current residents of the house.

In fall 2008, my daughter was visiting Johns Hopkins Unv. (MD) as for a
possible enrollment there (she ended up at Brown, RI). I had heard that
nearby there is such a place called GreekTown,  where there were many
big (winter) unprotected fig trees growing along the alleys.
Sooo, we all went fig-a-hunting....
I collected twigs from 11 different trees - all unkown -no guaranties of
any (presumed) Greek origin, or even if they are different [from each other].
I shared the few cutting I got (yes some were cut in half) with 3-4 more
fig-people, that answered my call-for-help on then GW/FF
(at least one us should succeed).

I RANDOMLY numbered those twigs as GT#1-11.

The following fall (2009), Henry also needed to go to that place
and communicated with me that he wished to "hunt" some more...
I briefly explained to him the streets-route I took; so as to
avoid more duplications. He got more twigs and numbered them as
GT_A,B,C etc.

Same (2009) fall, Jose went to another GreekTown; but this time in
Florida, and also collected a few more twigs...

I HOPE that at least a few of all these twigs will turn up to be winners...

Where did GM#17 originate?

Sue,
GM stands for my initials.
(it is one way of tagging my unkowns).
It has nothing to do with the GT (GreekTown) tag.
I found my GM#17 here in my hometown, NJ.
