womack the fig tastes the same in ky. as it did in italy. Slingha the reason uncle Luigi's figs looks big it is because it's not a salce. Unlcle Luigi has a lot of
the same figs i got, they all came from my hometown in Italy at one time or
another and we don't grow any other varieties. Nobody had salce figs until my father brought it over and last year i gave my uncle Luigi one plant . This year i brought my uncle peter one plant. My uncle Luigi grows figs because his wife likes them, but he doesn't know much about figs. Last year i give Bill all my cuttings which he sold on e bay and i will give him all my cuttings this year. I don't sell fig trees i send cuttings to people and i even pay the shipping and don't want nothing in return but sometimes people try my patience. I have send cuttings to people spend $10 on shipping send 2 or 3 variety and i don't even get a call to acknowledge that they have received it. I know that not everybody on here is like that there is a lot of nice people and i wish i could send everybody some cuttings . Vito you will love this fig.
