I've been enjoying these over the past couple weeks.  Large figs, somewhat thicker-skinned, and seems to avoid splitting /cracking (so no wasps or yellow jackets!).  Nice juicy, figgy flavor - better if you let them ripen fully+

Really great looking fig ! Thanks for posting this.

WOW!!!! Thats a beautiful looking fig! I remember my grandmother talking about these in Italy,bread and wine, they had a tree there.

That certainly is a pretty fig. I thought I read somewhere on the forum that this was the same as Sal's Corleone, but not from the looks of your pics. Enjoy!!

Hey Joe,

Really nice looking fig that you're holding there. You have ideas or info on the background of this tree? I'm amazed at the nice size, color, plumpness, etc. and you make it sound tasty too.

Thanks much for sharing. Is this planted in ground, or in a pot that you put away for the winter? Please share any of you're winterization techniques.

Ps: what county there in eastern PA? Regards.

"Sal's Corleone", "Pane e Vino",....and, "Schar Italian".... The Three Faces of Eve ?

Anybody?  Different varieties, or, are they the same?

This thread gives much info on the origins of Pane e Vino - my tree came as a small rooted cutting from a friend / forum member.

Glenn, I'm in Luzerne county PA - Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area. The Pane e Vino and all of my trees are in varying size pots - from 2 gallon up to 20 gallon. All come inside my attached garage. I wish I could say that the garage is constant temp, but it is not. Most of time it would be around 40 degrees, but I frequently open and close the automatic garage door (many times on any given day) - plus sometimes when snowblowing, I end up leaving the garage door open for 30 minutes or so. So - there could be periods of time where it's below freezing.

As a little added protection, I huddle all the pots close together, near the house-side of the garage, and wrap the pots in one layer of R-19 insulation.

About once a month, I add some water to each pot - just to keep a little moisture in roots.

Knock on wood - so far so good.

Thanks
Joe

Joe, remember the cuttings I brought from Calabria? Well, the fruit turned out to look very close to what you just posted. I am calling mine Red Sicilian/Sal's Corleone. It's all in the eye. I am pleased with the outcome.
Thank's for posting this.
If you have time could you also post a picture of figs from your San Donato?

Hi Frank - my fig tree with origins from San Donato di Ninea, Calabria (also the gracious gift of the same friend/forum member) is now about 3 years old and bearing some nice fruit.  The fruit is very different from Pane e Vino.  The San Donato figs are smaller, with more delicate skin, and raspberry colored interior with mild flavor.  As requested - here are a couple photos of th San Donato fig from last year.   

Excellent, Joe. Thanks much.
