This is my Pitsburgh Mission Fig.
I got the cuttings from Bass on May 2012.
The tree starting to produce fig  on October 2012--- i took this pictures on December 2012--
i really like the taste of this one--
its very sweet and delicious!!! :)

Very nice looking fig. Interesting shape and color.

@Hank C : yes, agree with you-- :) thank you :)

This is a variety that came from Italy and was grown in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania for many years. He grower son in law took a cutting and planted it in Lebanon, pa. While I was doing a talk on figs he brought me a cutting and said how it is cold hardy and heavy producer. They called it mission because it was a dark fig and not the real mission.

I have several cuttings and a tree of one that all I know is it came from Italy in the 1950s and is cold hardy and produces very sweet purple/green medium to large size figs. Its a real gem of a fig, wish I had a real name for it.  Its looks similar to the one you are describing and showing.

The fruit is hirsute. That's the first time I noticed that feature. Is that common among figs?

Looks like it would taste amazing.

@JackHNVA : i am sorry, i have no idea about that :)
@Dale: absolutely yes :) this variety is common type--- i am sure, the taste is delicious--very sweet:)
@Frank: yes you right Frank--- its amazing:) i am sorry, i cant speak english well, so i cant properly describe the taste of this fig. :)
