[true] Zucchini? [I do remember seeing both those fruit and leaf shapes at Belleclare. I bought one; but it died before it ever fruited.] __________________ George, NJ_z7a.

The leaf is similar to Paradiso, but the fruit is shaped differently. __________________ Andrew Bacchi z5A Vermont http://sites.google.com/site/figosaurus/home

Is this a well known fig? If anyone on the list has this fig where would it rate on the taste scale? Could this fig be somewhat cold hardy? I do not find it listed with pict. on this site. Al NJ Z6

Who has this fig; northeastnewbie or smiles4allages, or both? udaman, My Paradiso fig specimen's leaves never looked so highly lobed. Man, these fig names are really driving me crazy. __________________ George, NJ_z7a.

Udaman, yes, good observation, I also have a Paradiso (Also the same type Giuseppe Morle sells as Paradiso) ours are identical old world Paradiso. The middle fingers are somewhat more wavy on our Paradiso's but at times the fruit does get a very oblong type shape before maturity. I wouldn't say it is our type of Paradiso, but it is similar must say. Wouldn't have a positive I.D. as to that fact without more observing this particular plant showed in pics. __________________ Maggie Maria zone 7

Thanks Maggie, and nice to meet you. I'm pasting the link to my pics on Picasa of the Paradiso leaf and fruit, for comparison. I can't seem to post them here, so you'll have to browse over there. I don't know that this is the same variety, but the leaf is very similar. Paradiso leaf Paradiso fig __________________ Andrew Bacchi z5A Vermont http://sites.google.com/site/figosaurus/home
