Does anyone know anything about "Handy" and "Primo"?

Slingha,

Can you please specify a little more please?

Is it a fig?
Fertilizer?
Etc etc?

Thanks

Sorry Rafed.  I picked these up from 7Deuce last week. Both are fig trees. I was not able to find any information on them.

LOL, much better.

Sorry I can't help but good luck

They are not known variants. Don't know where the name handy came from but it's supposed to be a middle eastern fighandy handy is appealing so me since the skin is so delicate it comes off the fig while it's still on the tree. 

Thanks Celt. 

My uncle brought what I called it Primo, from Italy, in 1980, I believe it is in the Sicilian group and very good.
Handy fig is a little bit hardier round leaf pattern, thus the name, and easy to grow, one of my top fig. Hope it will help a little, Sergio in S. Jersey.

Yes...they were Burlesque Comics that opened for "Blaze Starr, and her Twin 44s" ....back in 1953, Union City, NJ.


Frank  : ))))

Thanks Sergio! Are the figs light or dark?

Slingha, they are purple, and average size.

Frank- How juicy were those figs?!

Sergio is my source for those trees. His trees are in ground and big. 

Handy is Sicilian as well?

Sergio can correct me if I am wrong but I believe he told me both are Sicilian. 

I thought handy was arabic

Sergio, One last question. How are they in the cold hardiness department?

Sounds like im going to baby these and leave them potted.

Slingha, they are as hardy as Celeste and Magnolia, I mulch all my trees with 4" shredded leaves, enjoy, Sergio in S. Jersey.
