Hi Ken

It is believed that John and Ken Love had/have seedlings no 4 and 5, that are different from seedling no. 1, as shown by Johns link.  Be keen on those.

John would you know if this fig needs caprification.  Any info on taste characteristics.

I believe your seedling has similar characteristics to Ken Loves

I do know the site.  The late Tony stevens had a large collection of figs, but there identities on most are not known, and the figs were called whatever. The is the major problem in figs within Australia.

The taste of the figs depends on environmental factors and terroir of the soil.

It depends on the mobility of ions in the soil.  Usually heavy ions complex so they become stable in the soil matrix.  But if the conditions favour for its mobility (acidic conditions) the roots of the pants will take it up with time.

Usually longer lived plants tend to have higher concentrations due to their long lived nature

HI Rafed

The problem with figs in Australia they have been  misnamed.

Brown Turkey is a loose term for figs here like the Black Genoa.

So answer to your question we could have yes.

Hi All

There is an unknown fig grown in Western Australia, Australia.

It has been at the grazing farm area for a couple of generations.

It is believed it was brought into the country by the early settlers in 1800s.

Leaves feel like velvet and big leaves.

Crops twice a year

HI Bass

The fig to me does not look like black genoa.  The leaves are very deeply elongated.  The black genoa in Australia I believe is used as a generic term for many black figs. I believe there true names have been lost or mistranslated through the years.

The common black genoa has broad leaves and the fruit are usually round.  These ones look flat..could be a burjassot?
