Bass... Just asking....I thought I remembered reading that this variety is really a good breba-only fig, and that main-crop takes too long to ripen properly in our areas. Is this correct? Frank __________________ Bronx, NYC Zone-7

I'll have to monitor the main crop closely, this year it has a main crop set. Will see if it drops or not. __________________ Pennsylvania http://www.treesofjoy.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trees-of-Joy/110193909021138

This morning I walked by the Fiorone di Ruvo and it was oozing honey from the eye. It was an irrisistable invite to be picked and eaten. My son shouted, look it's ripe. Was fully ripe and juicy. My 4 yrs old twins kept shouting stop taking pictures I want to eat it. breakfast was served, devided for the whole family. __________________ Pennsylvania http://www.treesofjoy.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trees-of-Joy/110193909021138

Looks delicious. I think my tree fruited 2 or 3 seasons ago but ripen late. Did not get to taste it & it did not fruit last season & this season. Could be root bound. Otherwise very healthy.

On a scale from 1-10 it was an 8. Not quite as good as Ronde de Bordeaux, but it's equal to the size of 4. __________________ Pennsylvania http://www.treesofjoy.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trees-of-Joy/110193909021138

Couple of those figs and you could make a whole fig pie, they are large and apparently good tasting. Very interested to know if it will produce a main crop, please do give us an update Bass

I was told by Gorgi that you might have a Fiorone di Ruvo fig tree you might want to sell or give cuttings on??? I was wondering if you could part with anything right now or sell me whatever!! I basically am told this is a superior tasting fig of good size but I really don't know anything at all about it... and if you don't have one, who might possibly have one? thanks for the help george (vic) George is my first name and i usually go by vic.. __________________ WISH LIST:I'M IN ZONE 8A BY FORT WORTH, TX I prefer very sweet figs and two crops a year if possible. I am now only planting fig trees with green or yellow flesh when ripe!
