well good thing is I had my first ripe fig of year. this is a main crop fig, taste was really good. I see there is a ton confusion over these figs of what's what. I think I have a dark, but it was sold to me a light. anyone from the Philadelphia area please chime in, to help me clarify what I actually have.

I have a 2nd year Bisirri "large" (which I think has also referred to as "dark") that I should get main crop fruit from in a few weeks for the first time. I'll post the results. It might be helpful if you also posted a couple representative leaves of yours for identification purposes.

Chris, it is an excellent tasting fig! Mine fruited a few days ago. I think mine is Bisirri 1. I have 3 of them. They are definite keepers.

I have a Bisirri #2 and Bisirri #3 at least that's how they came labeled to me. The #2 has fruited for me this season pics below. The #3 will fruit later this season for me. The #2 is a nice fig. I think I remember reading the light was not actually light adding to the confusion.

No Breba on either of mine yet. This is 1st year fruiting for me, from cuttings started spring 2014.

This is my first year with the tree as well. I purchased it from Mr. Bisirri directly in May, and I was told it was 3 years old. I have a light, and I got my mother a dark which I will eventually get around try to get a air layer from her.

also Phil yes all the figs are dark, none of them are actually a green/light fig, the inside is lighter than the other.

Yes the old threads discuss Mr. Bisirri stating they only have the 2, and storing other folks figs over winter in his greenhouse. I received both mine from Ricci in those threads. I have 2 of each what he called #2 and #3. one of each in ground and one still in pot. I do think I have 2 different figs as both the #2 fruited some this year, whereas both #3 have yet to, but will this later year. The leafs on my inground #3 matches the #3 photo in the old thread, but my #3 in pot looks very close to the #2 in pot right beside, but does show some leaf like my other #3. Interested in what Barry, Ricci or the others think about the different ones after growing them a few years.
