Here's another great fig. Pure berry jam. My wife and I couldn't put our finger on what type of berry. We just know it's one of our favorites. Another fig that held up to our bad weather.
I gave it an 8 and my wife liked it so much she gave it a 10.

Art, that is a very nice looking fig. Thank you for sharing the pics.

Very nice fig.
A must on any collection

Very nice!
It reminds me a Stella and Dalmatie.
Could you compare yours to those 2 if you have them?

Thanks Mike and Francisco.

Greenfig, Yes I have a few Stella figs that are supposed to ripen soon.

It is very close to this one that I posted on the 23rd. http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/staten-island-bomb-fig-pics-7005078?pid=1283666391#post1283666391

Nice looking fig! Thanks for the taste profile.

@Green fig, I think you have a good point there as Vasilika Sika does resemble Stella. I have Vasilika, Stella
and White Greek. I will post pic's likely tomorrow on these 3. I will start a different thread.

Greenfig, Here's a post from last year. Vasilika and Stella are on the same plate.

Looks good Art glad to hear it's a tasty fig too.  Thanks for sharing

Average score:9...9 is great.

Thanks for the pictures, Art. I really like the unknown Italian ( from the adjoining thread) from Pittsburgh ( maybe the greatest city...definitely the greatest pro football team). Is there more of a back story behind it? It seems like a large fig, is it larger than the LW?

Bill, It's about the same size as LW. If you do a search for Mittica White, you'll find more info on it.
It's one of my better white figs.

Very tasty figs, thanks for sharing.

Best,
Tam

This is a must have fig! Weather you get Vasilika Sika, Stella, or Staten Island Bomb. You should have one in your collection. Excellent tasting and a big fig to boot. To me it tastes very similar to a red raspberry.

Thanks for sharing your experience Art!   I agree that these are a beautiful set of figs!

But I have had difficulty growing this variety in a container.  In-ground it grows vigorously and great producer.  For me in a container the plant stays thin and just produces a few figs.  Do you have a secret for growing this variety in containers?

I got my Vasilika from Bass on ebay.

I only had 3 fruit this year on mine but they were great.  I have them from both Rafed and Bass (fruit came from grafted cutting from Rafed, I won it in the 2013 Buperbowl contest, I believe).  I think this should be somehow identified as Belleclare's Vasilika Sika or some such thing since it seems to be different from what folks in Greece (like Andreas) call Vasilika Sika.  Vasile introduced what folks there call Vasilika Sika and some of us have that strain as well.  What can be done to reduce the confusion?

That sounds good, Harvey. Maybe attach the Belleclare to it. The only thing about this fig is I think it is the same as Stella.

Dalmatie is the corect name of this fig....

Art, yes it has long fingered leaves.  Here are photos of my Stella.  

I have a 7yr old in-ground permanently. last year produced a ton of huge delicious figs but it got frozen down to 1' and this year has very vigorous growth but little fruit and I don't think will ripen.

This one is 5 yrs old , in ground (but dug up and brought in for winter)  I think it will ripen these figs in Oct.
 

 

The one below is 3yrs old in 7 gal container (Looks like need to get bigger containers).  Such huge difference in growth and vitality.  It had 4 figs but I accidently knocked one off so 3 left;

 

Vasile (Herman) has made the argument for some time that Belleclare's Vasilika Sika is the same as Stella and Dalmatie.  Excellent fig but probably a bad name.  I'm tempted to rename mine to avoid confusion but might create more confusion in doing so.  There needs to be some consensus on this before making the name change, IMO, and that seems nearly impossible in the fig community! ;)

There are many photos claiming to be Vasilika Sika on this forum.   They look very similar to Stella/Dalmatie with some notes that say VS ripens earlier and is more vigorous.
Does anyone have photos of a true Vasilika Sika?

You nailed it Harvey, Hoyle's Rules For Naming Figs. Personally I think there should be RULES for naming unknowns, when they can be permanently given names when not matched to another variety in a given time, synonym named figs should be checked out genetically.... have I bored enough of you yet????
