Paul, thanks for finding and posting that fig. Paul, can you describe the flavor profile of the fig?
Paul, where does your aunt live in New York? I would like to check the historical weather data for her area. I'm researching figs and weather. Both Herman and I believe that figs have the ability to adapt more quickly then most other plants.
My research is suggesting that if a fig can be kept from freezing to death, to survive each winter, it will eventually add a degree or two for each decade of being in a certain old location
Herman, I think I'm slowly getting there. That is, in being able to identify figs by leaf and or fruit.
I was also thinking Aldo's, Sicilian red, or Sal's Corleone.
Herman, aren't those three suppose to be the same?
Bob
