Thanks for the detective work, Sue!
The "Burbank" name does sound very familiar to me too.Probably from some olde paper-fruit-catalogs (plums?).Not sure if I have anything that I can back-trace to him though...
Good sleuthing.

Here's a photo of the Burbank fig. It's huge! I've asked for additional details; taste, inside view, etc. Will post more when I hear back.
WOW!! A super fig from a super gentleman, hope this one gets shared around. As big as apples.Tim
