Enjoyed watching the video. Questions: Is this variety sold commercially, by a retailer? If yes, who sells it? Thanks, Frank __________________ Bronx, NYC Zone-7

Not that I know of. I purchased this from a grower in Santa Cruz, CA. He has only this variety and has been growing it for years. I think Harvey may have it as well. __________________ Renton, WA My Seattle Garden Blog \| Fig Addiction WISH LIST: Genovese Nero Rafeds \| UCR 187-25 \| Black Tuscan \| Black Triana \| Jack Lilly \| Barbillone \| St Rita \| Tauro \| Jin Ao Fen \| Lampeira Preto \| Any fig over 100grams =)

OK. Thanks for the quick answer. Hope the fig is as good as it looks, and, for years to come. Good luck. Frank __________________ Bronx, NYC Zone-7

Looks like a nice fig but I don't believe that is Golden Riverside 278-128. At least not what I have from USDA UC Davis that matches what Harvey posted in both fruit and leaf. color can vary but I have not seen a hint of color other than green/gold on exterior. The leaf in video looks pretty different as well, and I know leaves show considerable variation. Just my 2 cents __________________ Phil N.GA.
