That fig was brought to the LSU gathering by Terry LeBlanc. For the time being it's name after the family that brought the fig to the States over a hundred years ago. There is an ongoing search for the real name but until then Terry is calling it the Italian Black Russo. It supposedly comes from Cefalù a city and commune in the Province of Palermo, located on the northern coast of Sicily. It has similarities to Hardy Chicago and Marseilles Black.

Just to try and stir your memory Richie; I thought I lost my Marmentino last year. I looked for the 2 gal pot with black tag everywhere. Then a few days later I happily remembered that I had up potted it to 4 gal red container. All was well. __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.
