My first fig from a 2 year old tree. It started to split a little so I picked it. Very nice, rich taste. I also have Brogiotto Bianco. Unfortunately it dropped all figs the first 2 years. Mother trees are in Italy.

KK,
Thanks for posting these pictures and flavor descriptions. I have a young tree with a couple of fruits. I doubt they will ripen, but will leave them on and see what happens.

Hi Vladis,
Is "Brogiotto" the Italian word for "Bourgeassotte" ?

Привет, я не знаю. Различные детские и частные лица в Италии показывают на фото не похожи инжира.

That would be:
"Hi, I do not know. Various children and individuals in Italy show on the photo does not look like figs." From Vladis

Nice looking fig.  I used to have this variety, Brogiotto Nero.  (Or maybe it was Brogiotto Nero Romano).  But it didn't survive one of the past winters.  Nice pictures!
