Anyone ever hear of it or something close to that name? Seller claims it produces a very large light green fig with a purple pulp. Thanks!

Hi, Rafed

 

Is that a variety or just an Italian word? The seller says she was told it looked like a "funlenchano" but is not sure of the spelling.

That's ok, Rafed. You may know more than you think! Have any pics of the parent tree/fruit?

Ruben,

Here'a some info from eastcoastfigs.com

Falicciano Bianco
Skin: Greenish Yellow
Inside:Red
Type: San pedro

From the website,
Matures fiorone (i.e. breba) starting about July 10 in my area. Fall crop requires caprification in order to mature; Wood is more resistant to frost damage than others; This variety originates in the Lazio region; the name ‘filacciano” is a local Lazio term for “fiorone”.

No, I don't have pics og the Mother tree. Sorry

hmmm...sounds somewhat like it but it did not mention the huge breba fruit. It's a lead! Thanks Rafed!!

Ruben,

Don't take my word on this because I am not 100% sure but the word "Fiorone" is somehow connected to large figs.

Someone else can chime in.

Guys, guys:

I googled the name and came up with the following. 

I may be on the wrong track, though.

Is it native to the beach and giggle when it hears music?

Don't think it's the Falicciano Bianco. I think that is the name she was told, I just don't think that is the variety she has. When someone has a picture of the developing fruit but no others, I get suspicious. Thanks guys!

I have seen this and another listed for the past 2 years.

Was always curious but never too interested. I have a ton of unknowns as it is.

Falicciano is suppose to be a san pedro type fig. My tree is in its 3rd season. No figs yet. My tree is from Adriano.

Well...I won the auction! Paid $19.50 plus S&H. I did find an Italian variety named Fico Fillacciano/Filacciano that may be a match. According to the seller, her tree produces one crop beginning late June in TN. Time will tell!
