Guys,

I picked four ripe figs this morning (3 Pane e Vino and 1 Aldo's)and gave them to the wife. For dinner she made me potato, spinach and cheese filled pierogies. She then cut up the four fis in quarters and heated them up a bit with the perogies. MAN OH MAN --- IT WAS GOOD. The figs where very sweet as well. Oh yhea she also had fried in butter as well sliced up white onions.

Ate five of them Perogies that is and I'm thinking about going back upstairs and have another serving.

Ah Lou your teasing me by this saying.

Here is what i ate for noon meal.
Ha i opened up thread thinking "oh boy get to see some
more ripe figs"
Now im hungry as its near lunch time no no figs just probably peanut butter and rasp jam on toast, oh well.

Where those main crop figs this early by you ?
Geez i need to get family to a warmer climate !

Lou-
I am happy to hear about your experience with Panevino and Aldo's figs.
By chance did you take pictures of these figs?
There are two varieties of Panevino figs. One light and one dark.
Did you eat the light one? Have you any photos of the dark Panevino figs?
Thank you,
Leon

Guys,

I located a photo of figs hanging off of my Dark Pane E Vino fig tree that

the wife cooked up in the dish described above.  It's attached below. This morning I harvested another. The wife ate that one cut up in a salad.

I want you guys to be aware of the fact that these figs I am picking now are first crop figs. I am holding out from picking them just until they reach the point that a person who is not familiar with figs would say if it were offered to them, "I'm not eating that thing". So far to my surprise most have been very sweet. I think that holding off picking along with the very warm weather has really made a difference in their taste.

I have the Pane E Vino White and now the dark but there was one other tree that used to be on that property that the dark and white came from.

I have it growing but have not named it as yet because I have not seen a ripe fig from it. Last year it never had fruit and was quite small now it is larger and does have small figs on it. I hope I get some to ripen this season.

Lou

If any of you are interested here are two photos of the tree 3rd tree that was growing at the Pane E Vino restaurant site along with the figs it is now sporting.

Any ideas what color it will turn out to be???

Thanks

Lou

Lou, It looks like it's gonna be a dark fig based on the color of the eye. Let me know when they're almost ready, so I can come visit. I was able to sample the white one before the trees were destroyed. 

Hi Lou:
Thank you for the photos of the Panevino Dark.
When you have a chance, could you post a photo of the leaves from both the Panevino White and Dark figs? I have both varieties as well but no figs this season and I need to find out which is which.
At the restaurant, were the White and Dark figs growing next to each other?
Was the third variety close to these other two on the property? Just curious because in past posts, there was never any mention of a third fig variety. By looking at the leaves, do you suspect the third variety is a copy of one of the others?
Again, thank you. Leon

Leon,

 Yes the three trees where growing very close together in a straight line on the property.

I will take a few photos of the leaves of both varieties for you and post them

on here for you. I never mentioned that tree because I could not get one to take until last fall. It was very small so I kept it growing indoors on our bow window sill. It produced two figs during the winter months but they fell off before ripening. Now that it is large enough I can see it looks to me like it will be a different fig from the other two. We shall see. Check back for those leaf photos.
