That's a nice looking fig Bass!  Good job!

Is that your #5?
Forgot which number... But I'm pretty sure it looks like a numbered variety you like. that does look jammy and from just looking at it you really enjoyed it. Thank you bass and the answer is yes, (your such a TEASE)

Well, there's a story behind this fig. 
It all started whe

I'm listening...

I happen to be out Bass fishing, but still watching this thread

I would, of course  :)

In another forum there's a popcorn icon for when you're sitting back, waiting for the story to unfold.  Would be useful right about now  :)

Bass, you can slip one of those in the box with the other two I bought this weekend!!!   ;p)

So the story about this fig.
A friend visiting a Greek island, who enjoys eating figs sent me the photo. said that he noticed this fig tree planted in someone's garden. He picked it and sent me a photo. No he did not take any cuttings. He told me the name of the island, but doesn't recall exact location. Last week a Greek Orthodox priest who enjoys figs and other fruit trees visited me for some plants. I asked him if he is familiar with Lesvos island. He said that in his church there's about 300 people from that island and many of them have figs growing from their island.
What are the chances that this fig is already growing in my town?

lovely fig and great story, but why didn't he smuggle back a cutting?

Bass that fig looks awesome and sweet. Curious if the priest really does have this fig!!!

That's a great story and a great looking fig.  If this variety IS already growing in your town, I hope you will be able to get cuttings and maybe even enough to share.  =)

tell the priest to hook it up!!!

Great story Bass . I'd bet he does have this fig and I bet it is growing in your town !! One can hope.

What an absolutely delicious Fig...........I would love to grow it.

Beautiful fig and a great story, thanks for sharing

Cool story and beautiful fig

Awsome story. Ashame your friend couldn't bring back some cuttings. With luck maybe you can find some from those church goers. I'm wondering if it taste as good as it looks.

My guess is that the chances are fairly good you will find one growing nearby.

Good time to go back to church!
