Nice fig.

Yummy!

Nice looking fig, is it known or unknown?

Gorgeous color!'

That fig was brought to the LSU gathering by Terry LeBlanc. For the time being it's name after the family that brought the fig to the States over a hundred years ago. There is an ongoing search for the real name but until then Terry is calling it the Italian Black Russo. It supposedly comes from Cefalù  a city and commune in the Province of Palermo, located on the northern coast of Sicily. It has similarities to Hardy Chicago and Marseilles Black.

Thank you for the info. I remember him just forgot his name. Thank you.

Just to try and stir your memory Richie;

I thought I lost my Marmentino last year. 
I looked for the 2 gal pot with black tag everywhere.  
Then a few days later I happily remembered that I had up potted it to 4 gal red container. All was well.
