When I was very young, we lived next door to an old Italian man who had his whole yard filled with fruit trees, veggies and a huge grape vineyard from which he made his own wine. Well, he had these two huge fig trees that he wrapped and took care of like a baby for the winter months. I remember the figs like it was yesterday! They were the biggest figs I have ever seen. The outside was light green and the inside was red. I never knew the name of the figs. He brought them from Italy. He never spoke English and my Italian wasn't that great! If anyone knows what these figs could be, I would appreciate the help in finding a plant. Thanks! __________________ ZiggySquig
