The fruit is about the size of a Celeste, but the skin has a little more purple, and the taste is richer. The leaves don't look like Celeste to me. Got this one from a neighbor. Her mother brought it from Italy 30 or 40 years ago. She doesn't know the name. She said the fruit's usually a little bit bigger.

It could be a fig. Oh, wait! I'll get in trouble for that comment. Given the recent pix that people have posted of Celeste, I'm thinking that is a possibility. I certainly have leaves on some of mine that look similar. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere

It does look like a Celeste, the shape, but it's very red inside. Looks delicious. The leaves don't really look like a Celeste to me, either. Does it drop its fruit in the heat? Does it have FMV? LOL! Jon! ;) noss __________________ noss/a.k.a.
