Show us what part of the yard it is in.

That's true beauty!

Rafed, Martin is a nice and generous guy, but I think you're pushing your luck if you think he will make it easy for you. LOL

Pete,

I will dig out my Xray glasses I purchased as a kid from marvel comics back in the 70s.

Gene,

LOL

Nice healthy looking plant Martin.

Advice? I have an eye out on Negretta, I want to plant it in ground. Bad idea? Rarity? I hear it is not hardy? 

Rafed you know what you can do.  ; )

Not sure how cold hardy vs hardy chicago as i store them in garage but can say neither one ever had limb damage that i recall in doing so.

Jenniferarino - i'm not expert and do not like to give advice only
"what i would do if it were mine"
So if it were mine and i decide to put inground i would grow for 3-5 years and put inground as it would be easy to protect,  as plant in container for me it is somewhat slow growing yet is a very good producer of figs.

Martin, I have also read that Negretta is a very sweet fig. In your opinin how does it's sweetness compare to, Celeste, or White Trinna?

I would say on close with Celeste when dead wrinkled ripe, but its been many many seasons ago i tasted Celeste which i no longer have.
Malta Black one day i could compare to .

I love that picture!  What a beauty
