A large fig, thin skin. Juicy with dark burgundy pulp.
Tastes like raspberry-strawberry jam.

Looks fantastic Igor! Thanks for posting the photos! The one I got from you is doing great. Looking forward to this one fruiting maybe next year?

Hi, Can you post a picture of the leaf?

Sure. It is dark outside but here it is.

Thanks for the photo. I haven't seen the fruit yet but I believe my tree is a vasilika Mavra (black) waiting for the figs to get bigger.

This one I believe is a vasilika aspro "white". Waiting to see the fig.

Beautiful fig! There are a number of different Vasilika fig trees. It's hard to keep track of them all. I have the Marva and the Belleclare. 

A one of a kind perfectly ripe Melissi! Very dark and intense.
On the plate surrounded by MBVS for a comparison.

Wow beautiful fig ,love the colors

Oh yeah nice fig!

In Zone 6 my VS Melisi ripens with Dalmatie and tasted very nice but not as sweet!
My Vasilika Sika Melisi came directly from Greece brought here by a trusted F4F member.  
To me it does looks very similar to Greenfig's Melisi (minus the wasp). 

 
 

Melisi leaf;

Is this a common fig? Mine dropped all its fruit twice now.

Adam I doubt many of the greek figs are common. I am noticing this trend.

I believe it is common but the only way to verify this is to grow it outside California.
Last year I gave the Melissi to several people, would be nice to hear from them.

Thats a really dark interior. Very nice and a beautiful plate of figs too.

My Vasilika Melissi dropped all its fruit in the last 3 years so I doubt it's a common fig.

This is what I'm talking about..

Were these sold to you guys as common?
