Oh my! :)

A very nice look fig no matter what the name is. It is nice that the first crop is ready in July.

Thanks Peter and Tony!

One other interesting thing about this fig in addition to the taste and performance is that all the figs have been amazingly consistent. 
Same size, same skin and flesh colour, same taste all excellent quality and no splitting even during the bouts of heavy rain.

This fig tree has out grown the 15 gal container so I will be root and balance pruning and planting in ground next summer. 
This means I can take a few cuttings now if anyone is interested PM me.

It is an amazing fig!  The only fig I have ran into that is a great producer of BOTH 1st crop (breba/fiorone) and main crop.  Other figs are big producers of one or the other but not both.
The taste of these brebas is my best tasting.  First one I tasted completely knocked me off my feet;

The main crop figs are high quality and each fig consistent in size, looks and taste (see photos). 

This fig was labeled as Red Siclian but was later identified as Gisotta Nero by a Sicilian fig collector who also grows it. 
It is very similar in looks and taste to Sal's Corleone but a much more vigorous grower and bigger fig producer. 
It also looks very similar to Sicilian Black JR also a big breba producer.  Difference is brebas are more red than black and the main crop is earlier ripening.

A great addition to fig collections due to taste, big breba production and quality main crop.

Thanks for looking and happy fig growing 2017!

Mailing update;

With the mild weather nicely rolling in I am mailing these and the Ciccio Neros out this week.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks

Looks like a great fig, Pino! Does your Sicilian Black have the same berry flavor that Gisotta Nero has?

Certainly a great looking fig, congrats on acquiring it. I sure hope it finds it's way to the lower 48 some day.

Pino I was really looking forward to getting this variety from you....but Ralphs generosity before Christmas has me in a good way with more then I had bargained for.

I'm sure many will appreciate this fig from you, it sounds like an absolute winner for us up here.

Hi Steve
You are in good hands with Raf. 
I saw his fig collection last summer and it is impressive!   He also has connections with some nice Greek people for some interesting figs!
I have pruned as much as I can this year of this fig but I do have some air layers and rooted cuttings going.  So if you are in the area give me a call.
Thanks
