Hello Everyone,this a fig plant that has been growing unprotected for the last 8 years in northeast Ohio,can anyone help ID it? Only clues about it are the fruit is dark red to black,with red to deep red insides.It maybe called Catalina by Italians from the Campobasso area of Italy were it came from.

Mario, Why would a red fig with a red pulp be called Bianco? Do you have any pics of the ripe fruit? __________________ Ruben Cibolo, TX/Zone 8b Wish List: Dalmatie, Italian 258, Martin's Unknown (not the Italian), CdD-N, NdC, Signora, Latarolla, Stella!

Funny I thought the same thing. I have VB but no fruit yet. Slow grower for me at this point. The leaves are very similar but my tree had a bad case of FMV. __________________ Dominick Zone 6a-MA

Only reason I could imagine would be that whitish cast to the leaves... Anyone know more about this fig variety? Dominick, where'd you get yours? Mike central NY state, zone 5 __________________ Pauca sed matura.
