I can't tell you for certain but the leaves and fruit resemble my in-ground Hardy Chicago. You should wait until they droop loosely to pick them. The opaque white between the skin and the pulp is a giveaway that they aren't ripe. That white part will thin out and turn translucent as it ripens. __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

Wow that's pretty close. I was told this tree was from Italy but who knows. It's been in ground unprotected for over 20 years. Took at hit this year with the horrible winter but its bouncing back nicely

Hi Happychicken, Chicago Hardy supposedly originates from Italy. Could be your tree. __________________ Gary in CA 9A Seeking: Bebera Branca*, Colonel Littman's Cross

There's a lot of similar figs collectively referred to as Mt Etna figs. __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.
