Not to add to the confusion but.......

So now in the present the only tree you can get cuttings from the original cultivar,is the Sal that Gene has kept in his Garden.
That is why it has to be noted as Gene strain.
Gene got it From EDible Landscaping when they had a tree labeled Sal's fig.

I also have that Sals and at the time of purchase i felt like a child in a candy store who has a pocket full of change.

It wears off as many will learn in time that have to have a plant that looks nice and cannot wait for it !
Been there done that and i say it was FUN !

Although not high anymore on list taste wise its a darn good reliable fig tree even in the worst seasons here near Chicago in a container.

Many, many  fig people have the EL/Gene Sal's Fig strain (including Meow)...
