Hi all ,<BR><BR>I recieved an older potted fig tree from an old timer Italian pro figster but he doesn't know the variety . So far I've only tried the breba and they are really good . The fruit is the size of a golf ball with a nice sweetness , thin skin , and great flavor.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Thanks ... John<BR>

I am too new to identify the fig, but wow it looks delicious.   How did it taste?

Hi Sara ,

I find it hard  to describe flavor . But it tastes as good as it looks .

John

very nice looking tree and fruit! Is the last pic of a completely ripe fig?

Hi Ruben ,

I forgot to take a picture of the cut open fig before cutting it. The other pics were from a fig a few days later . It could have been picked a day or so later . The colour is pretty much the same just some cracks in the skin develop .

Hey John, that fig looks tasty. Some of my best tasting figs are Italian heirloom figs and I tell you one thing Some of these older Italian gentleman have the best tasting figs for our climate so that is why I never turn them down. I got a plant this year down the street from my parents the breba ripened was outstanding.

Hey Nelson ,

I picked that fig the day after I passed by and remembered you telling me that often times the unknown figs end up being some of the best.
You were right .

John,

Not a true Celeste. Likely it is something else. Need more pics and info to better ID it, but it's not Celeste.
