Little red figs ! This is a new tree for me. I'm anxious to see what the ripe figs look and taste like !

Pattee , Zaino's nursery sells nice size fig trees for the money. I have purchased a 6 ft tall Atreano from them that is performing nicely. Angelo Zone 7A NY, LONG ISLAND

Hi Angelo . I agree they have great prices/sized trees. I bought last year and this year: 2- Atreano Gold, Zaino's Negronne, 2- Zaino's Black, Zaino's Italian Purple Black and this Zaino's Italian Purple Red. Great trees and looks like all will have figs this season. That's exciting !

Pattee, Did the Zainos black produce for you last year? I bought one this spring and it has about 20 figs on it now. __________________ Wish List:St. Rita,LdA, and any unknown heirlooms

JohnnieB , I bought those this spring also . I don't think either one has that many on it - will have to check later. Do you have any other varieties that were grown for Zaino's ? He didn't have Petite Negri this year . __________________ 7a & 9b ►I assume all my figs carry FMV ◄ Seeking : Italian 376,395 , Galicia Negra, Negretta,UNK Pastilliere ,Pananas Purple, Malta Blk+purple/red, Italian + Calabrian UNK's , Catanzaro, Malone, Sucrette(Baud) "We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?" - Gandhi

I also have the Atreano and a nice Negronne that I picked up this spring. The Area no is covered in figs. I plan on adding to the color took next spring one of each of the purple red and the purple black. It's a 2 hour drive each way for me. __________________ Wish List:St. Rita,LdA, and any unknown heirlooms

Pattee... Reading and looking with interest. The trees look clean and healthy. Nice violet-red coloration showing on the figlets...portends nice things to come. May the "new" Zaino's trees continue to surprise you...in a good way. Keep the pictures coming. These Zaino's trees are new, and I would like to see how they perform. So far, so good. (You can't beat their prices for bearing size, fig trees). Frank __________________ Bronx, NYC Zone-7

Frank , these trees are healthy. The other trees are showing figs also , but these were red. I'll post pics of the other trees soon and their figlets to compare. Maybe JohnnieB will post pics of his ZBlk also.

I bought an Italian black, or purple from them, can't remember. Definately not the same name as yours but it looks a hell of a lot like brown turkey. They sold me an excellent negronne so I let the other one slide. __________________ Ed NY zone 7 Wish list CDD Blanca/Negra

So the good news is that at least I got to take pics of my It. Purple Red's baby figs ! The bad news is that all those red babies are GONE !! AGGHHH !!! The cardinals have been in the trees scoping all the fig trees out of late , but I didn't think I had to cover them up when they were that small ! Is that even possible that they would eat them at that stage? __________________ 7a & 9b ►I assume all my figs carry FMV ◄ Seeking : Italian 376,395 , Galicia Negra, Negretta,UNK Pastilliere ,Pananas Purple, Malta Blk+purple/red, Italian + Calabrian UNK's , Catanzaro, Malone, Sucrette(Baud) "We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?" - Gandhi

So the first breba on the Z's Italian Blk was ready to pick today, after some heavy rain yesterday . I'm not great describing taste , but will give it a go. After I cut it , there was a mild but distinct melon aroma. Taste wise , a slight melon taste , not very sweet, creamy, not crunchy w/ seeds. Maybe the rain yesterday mellowed it. Maybe it should have stayed on tree another day or two . This was the only breba , hopefully the main crop will taste better. Closed eye. Chilly spring was no help either. __________________ 7a & 9b ►I assume all my figs carry FMV ◄ Seeking : Italian 376,395 , Galicia Negra, Negretta,UNK Pastilliere ,Pananas Purple, Malta Blk+purple/red, Italian + Calabrian UNK's , Catanzaro, Malone, Sucrette(Baud) "We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?" - Gandhi

Suzie , hope it helps in some way. I am hoping that the main crop is better and will report when they ripen. __________________ 7a & 9b ►I assume all my figs carry FMV ◄ Seeking : Italian 376,395 , Galicia Negra, Negretta,UNK Pastilliere ,Pananas Purple, Malta Blk+purple/red, Italian + Calabrian UNK's , Catanzaro, Malone, Sucrette(Baud) "We may have our private opinions but why should they be a bar to the meeting of hearts?" - Gandhi
