Came home from vacation today and found a bunch of ripe salce figs on my trees . The birds beat me to a lot of them but there still was plenty for everybody to eat and then some. I put these pictures on here because a lot of people have this fig now and nobody has seen pictures before. This fig is not very big as i have always said, but to me it is a giant on taste.

Mario, Thanks for the pictures. The sapling, and one of the cuttings made it. They are growing very well.

I think they kinda look like some Celestes! ?:~) Delicious looking, of course. __________________ Especially desired figs: UCD 187-25, UCD 200-48, UCD 157-17, UCD 309-B1, Princesa, Black Madeira, high quality sugar fig that ripens Sept-Oct. Probable desired fig: Smith, St Jean, JH Adriatic, CddB, Gulbun, Pastilliere, Sucrette Rooting: Smith, CDDB--this pretty much means I have my fun tries (tho' important since they are truly desirable), and only interested for this year: Gulbun, BM, 187-25, or something wildly exotic or precious that nobody has any good reason to send me.

Mario, I have heard that taste and performance of fig varieties can vary greatly depending on soils and climate. Since you have grown and eaten Salce in both Italy and Kentucky, have you noticed any difference in this fig between locations? I look forward to obtaining some Salce cuttings this fall. __________________ Womack Northwest Georgia 7b Wish list: Col de Dame Gris, Black Tuscan, Socorro Black

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. __________________ ky zone 6a 6b
