I received a Panetta cutting one year ago from a good fig friend from Central Florida. All I know is that it came from the Lidia and Tatyana connection in Italy. The plant is now 4 feet tall with lots of unripe figs.
I think it's going to be a good one based on the first and only ripe fig it produced after the recent freeze we experienced.

Beautiful Fig Frank, thanks for posting :)

It looks like a tiny watermelon :)
How did it taste?

I have seen a similar fig in Montalcino Tuscany

Frank it does look like a very nice find.  By the way, could you expand more on the "Lidia and Tatyana connection"?  Do they collect and study figs in Italy?

I'll have to remember this one, looks awesome.

Rewton: they are fig traffickers. Frank: now for the bad news, I heard recently that due to a family tragedy, Lidia and Tatyana will be out of action for a long time.

Congratulations, I hope it produces great figs for you! 

Rewton, http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/italian-to-english-6246942?highlight=tatyana&pid=1277223830#post1277223830 Rafael, I didn't . Sorry to hear of this. They are really nice ladies. Would you IM me what you heard?

Frank 

Congrats on a great find

Very nice looking. Have you tasted?

Taste was good for a fig that ripened in late November in my shed after a freeze. It was sweet, moist and fruity. Projecting to a next year normal ripening period of August or September, it should be excellent, or so I hope.

Frank,

That looks great:)
