It is more similar to Battaglia in fruits,but the leaves are more like JH Adriatic. |

Herman2: Thanks for your information. So, this tree is not either Battaglia Green or JH Adriatic? Thanks Herman2. |

Battaglia or whatever it is called seems to be a fairly unique cultivar, it seems fair to say only a fig collector would have this variety, whereas it does not appear the Portuguese owner of this tree is a fig collector, but you never know, Paradise nursery is not that far from Maryland. |

Tam:I promise you,I will show a picture of my 6 years old ,inground Battaglia,it is full of fruits,only a few got ripe at this point because of extreme cool nights ,in Aug,and September,but you will not be able to figure the leaf shape too well,due to leaf rust,that damaged most leaves this year also because of cool humid and rainy nights this late Summer. |

Rafaelissimmo: This tree was given to the owner from one of her Portuguese friends. Her friend told her that it was Gota de Mel from Portugal and I do not know about her friend. So, do you think this is the Battaglia Green from Paradise Nursery? Thanks for your comments. |

persianmd2orchard: Thanks you for your posted photos. The upper 2 photos are similar to the Gota de Mel. I wonder if the mature Battaglia Green has leaf shapes like Black Madeira. |
