Hi everyone,
I am quite a beginner with the fig "magic" and I am counting on the generosity of the forum members to be able to have a few good tasting figs. But I wanted to share some pictures with everyone and maybe the experts on the forum might be able to identify it. This is a fig that my parents have in Romania and it has been in the family for about at least 28 years (my grandmother had it). I still remember when I was little, getting my fingers covered and my lips burning from the milky sap but could not stop eating them. These pictures were taken by my mother at the end of last summer (beginning of September) with one exception which was taken in the spring (take a look at the brebas). She told me that it was loaded with figs such that she had to make fig preserves. I remember it being extremely juicy, soft and sweet, very little figgy taste.
Enjoy the pictures and please post any potential names. You will notice about 2 the leaf patterns: one quite elongated (the tree photo) and one not so elongated (leaf on the table). I have no idea where my grandmother could have gotten it from, especially since figs are not exactly common in Romania.
Dragos
