mine did that too Richie, then shriveled up and fell off before truly ripening. I hope you have better luck. "Unk Home Depot" from him also did the same, and I think it is the same fig. Keep us posted.

You need to photo shop it next time so it looks the same though. Good luck. __________________ Calvin Littleton,CO z5/6 Wants List: For everyone to clean-up after themselves and co-exist peacefully. Let's think more about the future of our planet and less about ourselves. :)

This is Sultani fig on the mother tree. Every year the intensity of colors might vary due to climatic seasonal differences. In general the color changes of the fruit during the ripening process is constant.

Richie - did this ever bear fruit for you or did they all eventually drop? Mine dropped all for the second year. I believe it is a Smyrna __________________ Ed Zone 6A - Southwest PA --------------------------- Short wish list: CDDG, LSU Red, Dark Greek (Navid), Col Littman's Black Cross.

Malta Purple Red does not need the wasp. It is not a Smyrna type. It is a common fig. However, it does take a few years before the darn tree realizes not to drop its figs. It behaves just like Pastiliere. __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a

I believe it is a Smyrna First year in ground so i am not judging it just yet It really grew alot and dropped figs but its too cool of a tree to give up on it. Beautiful leaves. Figs have three red stripes going from eye to outward to the sides. Big giant three lobed leaves. __________________ RICHIE BONI HICKORY LOUISIANA ZONE 8B WARM HUMID WINRERS ARE VERY MILD LOW 20'S BUT WARMS RIGHT UP DURING THE DAY.

Yea the little figs were cute - kind of yellow with red stripes. But none ever swelled at all. Second year....sure Pastilliere is known for dropping for several years so there is no proof it is Smyrna. But the CA growers have not done us a favor and tested it by blocking the ostiole to keep out their wasps. If they are getting figs on 2 or 3 year old trees WITH the wasp, I think it needs the wasp. __________________ Ed Zone 6A - Southwest PA --------------------------- Short wish list: CDDG, LSU Red, Dark Greek (Navid), Col Littman's Black Cross.

Sultane is a French fig Sultani is the name of an Egyptian variety and also this unknown procured at the home of an Iranian immigrant, a fig variety brought with him from Iran and not the same as the Egyptian variety. __________________ Ed Zone 6A - Southwest PA --------------------------- Short wish list: CDDG, LSU Red, Dark Greek (Navid), Col Littman's Black Cross.
