so for longest time, i thought "preto" was some special word. preto this, preto that. so finally i searched it on the net. it's means "black". oh well.. internet gives too much information. so now Fico Preto is just another way of saying black fig. __________________ Pete Durham, NC Zone 7b "don't talk to me about naval tradition.

Difficult to remember from that long ago. That was "pretty sheep" not "preto sheep". __________________ Ottawan-Z5a, Canada
