Surprise, surprise! Now I do see it.
Congrats,
Debbie.
BTW,
It is similar (but not same) to Sal(C).
Apparently, three NE fig-people found 3 differently-located
(very similar, and possible the same) mother trees in the NE area;
me, Bass and Al.
"GM#17", "Brooklyn Dark" and "Sicilian Red".
I have seen the fruit skin changing colors.
It starts as red/green (some stripes), to all-red (wine), and finally almost-black (when very ripe).
The fruit shape also changes shape.
It starts almost round (think golf-ball for shape/size) and then it elongates as it fully ripens.
Fruit is very sweet.
It is a rather late fig. It does ripen a significant number of fruits here,
but some does not make it before the cold arrives...
[I do my observations of GM#17, mostly by visiting the inground mother tree.]
