Hello,
New to the forum.
If possible, I would like some help in identifying this fig.
Tree is located in Staten Island, New York, zone 6B
Growing in the ground for at least 50 years, possibly longer,
I'm trying to get some more information from the owner about
the history of this tree.
It seems most likely the cutting originated in Italy and was brought
over by the grandparents.
Sorry, no picture of the tree, didn't have my camera with me.
Took some leaves, and several figs in different stages of ripeness.
Tasted a few, taste was weak/watery, but I suspect this is because of all the
rain we have had the past week/month.
I don't think it tasted like a Brown Turkey, and I didn't see any figs
on the tree that were brown, even the over ripe ones had a yellowish/green
look to them.
Can anybody assist in identifying this variety ?
Thank you
Jack
