Take Black Madeira, Ronde de Bordeaux, Black Mission, Negronne, and mix them together you get a flavor close to this fig. 

Very nice Bass.

Congrats, Bass; I'm happy for you...

One Heck of a Beautiful Fig

It is definitely not a smyrna or san pedro fig. It does seem to be a productive fig even in a container.
Gorgi, Did you want to keep the name as Maltese Beauty? unless you were able to get the local name of this variety.
Bass

sounds like all the good figs rolled into one..

They are really beautiful Bass , thanks for sharing Pics.

Salam

Can't wait for mine to get ripe

Looks like an awesome choice.

Very nice colours outside & inside. Definitely a variant to consider.

Excellent looking fig.

The color inside is unusual.  How does it do with the rain?  Here's hoping this breaks all records for ebay price  :)

I will try this fig in the ground next year. The skin is nice and smooth, it doesn't have cracks so it has the potential to resist rain. The only thing is the eye on this fig was slightly open, but I don't think it matters much.
I will be watching this tree closely. 

I love figs with (eye-appealing) skin-cracks too...

How is the weather holding up in PA. For Maltese Beauty? Fall is creeping up here in Idaho, getting a little chilly, I will be bringing mine indoors. Is this Maltese Beauty first winter (I know winter is not here, yet)

As my wish list describes I love "unknowns" :-)

It really is a beauty!!

As a good gesture, I am willing to offer 6 such cuttings right off the
mother tree to some of you many/increasing good F4F/FF members.

ONE (1) single twig Maltese Beauty (GM#155) per person...

Requirement:
You do know how to root, root them fig twigs.
You wrote at least 100 posts here.
You do not already have it.
And without any guaranties.

Cost:
$10 - shipped.

If Interested, email me privately; selected takers will be notified within one week
(others, better luck next time).


EDIT:
I am no longer accepting requests.
As of late Sun Sept 30 evening, I got swamped!
After I examine what is available, I'll try to (maybe) accommodate more than 6 people.
I will also (add weight) and try to distribute it to different US regions.

EDIT.2: (10/22/12)
B/c after looking inside my messy fridge, and realizing that I had more than I originally thought,
I hope that I made more than (2x)6 people happy.

Nice Bass.

Beautiful..

Mouth watering beauty.

Choose wisely George, but I am sure you already knew that. Interesting set of requirements. A strategy I may apply with my future give away too. Good luck to the lucky few who are selected.
