Actally, this is my second one. When I cut the first one open there was a worm in it,so I threw it away. It broke my "figging" heart! Its a keeper.

That's a giant fig! How productive is it?

Hi Sas.
The figtree is loaded.

nice fig!

Looks awesome Vito ! How long have you been growing that GN - AF ? How was the taste?

@ Larsb, the tree is 4 years old and loaded with figs, given to me by a very generous member(you know who you are,thank you)
@ Pino.it should start to produce by the second year.
Vito

Auguri! 
Great looking fig no wonder it is so popular! 
How old before it started producing figs?

Vito: OMG! What a nice looking fig. Congrats! Thanks for sharing.

Nice Vito. Not to open a can of worms, but I now believe that the fig known as Rob's Genovese Nero is indeed Genovese Nero AF.
Rob's GN
 
 

Nice fruit!
Congratulations
Is the a fig or a breba ??

Hey Vito, What a beautiful Fig! Beautiful color and the size is outrageous! Thanks for posting! Keep the photos coming! : )

Thank you Frank.;-)

Francisco, I don't think it's a breba.

Gary, are you growing both Rob's and the AF version side by side?  The saga continues!

Yes Steve, I am. They are the same, IMO. I also have the Rafed GN, and it is much different, more similar to IT 258.
Francisco, my photos are of main crop, as I think are Vito's.

The implication is that there is a difference between GN AF and Rafed's GN, I never heard that before, seems very likely to generate more confusion

Thank you Vito and Gary
It must be a much cold hardy cultivar..
May be the best answer to the numerous  members in the upper latitudes  looking for the ideal fig for their locations

Vito, I apologize for hijacking your thread. I didn't mean to. It was your photo of Genovese Nero AF that made me realize Rob's GN could be the AF version.

Don, yes, in my location, that is my opinion. I have mentioned this before, Rob's has produced a very high quality breba here. My Rafed version has not produced brebas, the main crop fig is smaller, later, and better tasting, IMO. 

Rafael, there are 2 very different versions. I hope others that have both will chime in.

Gary,there's no need to apologize, its all good

Those figs would be great to stuff and cook on the BBQ.
