I also have a fig called Owensboro Unknown with leaves and growth habit just like a Mount Etna fig.  But it hasn't produced fruit yet so I am waiting still before classifying it as a Mount Etna type.

Nice video and interesting summary on the Mount Etna type figs.  Definitely some figs to have to grow in ground in harsher and colder areas! 
There are also white Mount Etna type figs but we don't seem to hear too much about them?

Wow, so with proper pollination you could grow a Hardy Chicago from seed?

Very nice video Joe. Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge and experiences with those of us who can't grow all those nice trees at the ideal climate!

Thanks for the comments.

Like Ed explained the seed grown trees from Hardy Chicago would not be Hardy Chicago.  However in the area around Mt. Etna the wild figs are supposed to be closely related so seed grown trees are very similar to their parents.

Nice video, very educational.   Thanks for for sharing your knowledge, Joe

Thanks Joe. Enjoyed your video.

Thanks!

Good video. What size organza drawstring bags are you using to protect the figs from the birds?

Jerry I usually use the 4 inch X 5 inch bags.

Thanks, Joe. That was a really well explained video and good comparisons. Also, has anyone ever told you that your voice sounds just like Randal from the Kevin smith movie Clerks? As I was watching it, I thought it sounded so familiar.

Thanks Bill.  It's been years since I saw that movie.  I'll have to check it out again.

Nice video, Joe. Thanks for putting that together.

Thanks Danny!

Joe, I always enjoy your videos and they're great contributions to the forum.  Nice work!

Another great video, Joe.  You explain things very well!

Thanks!

Thank you for the great information that you have now made available online. Also, for clearing out some questions regarding this matter.
Question: Is there a list of all -known and possible- Mount Etna Figs?

I must say that I was a bit shocked to see Dark Portugal there, but I can definitely now see the resemblance to the mentioned varieties.

Regards

where do you get those little fig bags at ??

Jerry I'm pretty sure that a list has been compiled on the forum before.  If you search the old posts you should be able to find it.

Chuck those are organza bags.  You can get them at craft stores or order them online.

Thanks Joe.
I really enjoyed the video, I come from a little town near Mount Etna,
It brings back good childhood memories.

Joe,
Excellent video.  I also have a Mount Etna Fig Tree that originated from Sicily and is identical to the figs that you talk about in your video.  The leaf pattern, size, and color of the figs is exactly the same.

Thanks for taking the time to share your video with us about Mount Etna Figs.

Hi Linden
Where about in Sicily did your fig come from?
