Does anyone have photos of a true Vasilika Sika?


I don't remember if Herman2 (Vasile) has posted photos of his before or not and can't find any right now.  But in post 12 at http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=6528866 he says that Tam's "Green Greek" is identical to his Vasilika Sika which was obtained directly from Greece.  Adreas posted later in the thread but did not confirm or deny the identity.

Harvey, thanks for the link. 
A great photo display of Vasilika Sika and confirmed by Herman2.

Waynea, I agree with you that it would be nice to have an agreed to naming convention that everyone follows for unknowns.  But given the gazillion fig varieties and gazillion people that name figs according to a story, their beautiful wives, or worse yet black fig or green fig in every language.  If the fig grows well for you and you like it then that is really what counts.
