Three #1? I'm a little confused. What's the fig in the bottom pic cut in half? It looks great.  Almost as plump as the pollinated figs.

Awesome. Is your signature up to date? Was that grown in FL without the wasps?

Looks good. The skin allot more smooth and round compared to our Battagglia.

The only wasps around here are the stinging kind. :(

Thanks. Now it's time to look on eBay and petals from the past. That fig looks great!

Love the deep red of the inside. Just got a small tree from eBay last Friday and can't wait to get my own figs next season.

Frank, that is an awesome looking fig. I remember you commending it last year also. You even sent me cuttings (thank  you) but
neither of them made it.

How would you compare this taste wise to Strawberry Verte, Stella, Battaglia Green, JH Adriatic, CdDB and similar figs?  I'm sure I asked this before but not sure who I asked  :)

Those are really beautiful Frank. Much more red than I expected. I have a local green fig that I have tasted, it was also dark red interior. I thought it was likely Battaglia, because Battaglia is also dark red centered, but now I wonder if it's Green Ischia. I'd love to see some clearer leaf pics if you could post them.

I also like both (eye-pleasing) figs with:

Green skin & blood-red pulp (the light-side of me)
or
Black skin & dark pulp (the dark-side of me).
