San Diego, CA Very good flavor. Skin has green splotches, which seem to be very characteristic of this variety. Flavor is beery like, but also has a more nutty/date layer to it, as well.

Is this the same as Barnissotte Noir?

My barnisotte fig, cutting ordered from Italy in 2013 looks different, much larger and no green splotches

UCD Barnisotte is its own variety, and should be specified as UCD Barnisotte.
__________________ Especially desired figs: UCD 187-25, UCD 200-48, UCD 157-17, UCD 309-B1, Princesa, Black Madeira, high quality sugar fig that ripens Sept-Oct. Probable desired fig: Smith, St Jean, JH Adriatic, CddB, Gulbun, Pastilliere, Sucrette Rooting: Smith, CDDB--this pretty much means I have my fun tries (tho' important since they are truly desirable), and only interested for this year: Gulbun, BM, 187-25, or something wildly exotic or precious that nobody has any good reason to send me.

Is one more desirable than another? I've got 2 UCD Barnisotte cuttings showing roots. I should be super excited about this, right?
