Olá amigo Camacho, Welcome to the forum. Hope all well with you. That's a nice fig with looks of being a honey type. I am glad seeing your area becoming a nice long waited 'garden' ! Are there any new commercial fig varieties planted? Francisco

Hello everyone, and thanks for the greetings. I don't know which variety they are, here they simply call it 'Figo Branco' which means white fig. Probably they are the pingo de mel variety, like Chivas is saying, very common here in Portugal. lampo: Olá amigo Francisco! Glad to talk with you again. I heard that somebody was planting some commercial fig trees nearby some time ago, but I dont know anything more about it. jdsfrance: Hello jdsfrance, I only have two varieties which I don't know their names.

Welcome, Camacho, and thanks for posting. My father's parents immigrated from Madeira approximately 100 years ago to come farm in California. I love collecting Portuguese figs. There is one fig brought to California from Madeira about 50 years ago also called Figo Branco. Mine hasn't fruited yet.

Best wishes, Not to get off topic, but I just noticed the name of your farm. My grandfather was a Correia from his mothers side. Very nice to see those from Portugal, and Portuguese descendants, on the forums. __________________ Ontario, Canada Zone 6a

Camacho, That dark fig looks very nice. I am not sure but the most popular figs in Alentejo seem to be all local varieties grown for many years but names are not easily identified. The Centro de Hortofruticultura da Escola Superior Agrária de Beja did apparently start in the recent past, experimenting several cultivars to assess the potential for commercial growers but never saw the results. I wonder if they have any support literature to help farmers to identify and select the best figs for the area. Francisco
