First I have to thank Vince (foreverfigs) again for this cutting.  I've only had one so far, but it is tied with Bryant Dark for my best tasting fig so far this year.  Interesting to note this cutting gave me no end of grief, but like most teenagers grew out of its rebellious start.

Sweet, slight seed crunch, really like this one.....wish I had more on the tree.  Also like that I got more than one bite than you would get with a Celeste sized fig.

Yum, looks delicious.  =)  I have an Ischia that my brother gave me this weekend.  He said he thinks it's the green one and I have a cutting from the Bryant Dark started.  I hope it does well.  

Looks good.  I didn't realize these turn yellow.  Jon's photos have them the same way.

Steve, that's a great looking fig but to my eye is not very green or ischia-like. I posted some pictures of milne earlier in the week. Maybe others can confirm.

Jules - I hope your Bryant Dark does well too.  I'm very happy with it now and it should only get better with age.  Also glad it likes the Houston area as well as NYC!

Bob - yea, it was kinda a surprise to me too.  I was expecting green exterior and red interior.  Silly me, I never checked Jon's photos.

Frank,

I thought you had posted photos (couldn't find the post) and wanted to compare mine to yours cause I wasn't expecting this color.  Also so many people complain about the seediness of GI and this one was pleasantly seedy.  Cool, we have a mystery on our hands.  Maybe Vince will see this and chime in.

Interesting, see the link below for more confusion.  DanLa had a post where his description matches mine.....yellow, open eye......and he thought it may be a White Ischia.

Someones going to ask so here you go....leaf photo.

My leaf closely matches Nelson20vt's Green Ischia, but I think I have a White Ischia.

Hi Steve...glad you liked that fig...mine are just starting to ripen here in N.J....I'll probably have a few that are dead ripe in another 5 or 6 days...I agree with you that it is one of my best tasting figs (but we know that everyone has their own take on what is a good tasting fig)...as to the questions just posted on what variety we have here...the tree was given to me 7 years ago by my neighbor as a 10" tall rooted cutting with a couple of leaves on top...he did not know the variety, so for the first five years I just considered it an "unknown light fig"...I sent some cuttings to a fellow I met on YouTube, who had seen a video of my backyard fig orchard...this fellow was also a member of the Figs4Fun Forum (screen name 'ediblelandscapingsc')...he PM'd me with some pictures of the leaves and ripe fruit of an Ischia Green fig tree and said they looked just like the leaves and fruit of my tree...I compared his pictures with my own and they sure looked the same to me...ergo my "unknown" tree now had a varietal name to go along with it...as far as extereior and interior color, while the fig is in the growing process it is green on the outside and when cut open it is bright pink on the inside, but that all changes when the fig approaches ripeness...the fig swells considerably, and the outside changes from green to yellow and the inside becomes a very pale pink (this change can take place within as little as 4 or 5 days in the ripening cycle)...so having said all that, I am open to any input from Forum members as to what variety they think my "Ischia Green" tree might be...in the mean time I am going to continue to enjoy the really delicious figs that come from this tree.

White, I think, not like my green.  BTW you have cuttings Saturday mail.

Vince,

Yea, I really don't care what it is, only thing I do care about is it makes GOOD figs.  I'm very happy with it and thanks again for sharing.

Steve...each year that tree will produce more and more figs...last season, which was it's 6th year, it produced over 350 figs (in ground)...most of them went into fig jam and fig jelly, but the biggest ones were allowed to grow to "full term" and were eaten right off the tree...you have a lot of years of good fig eating ahead of you...enjoy, and have fun.
