Ok, I should have used the search first. Francisco mentioned that in this thread: http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/tres-num-prato-or-sof%C3-%AAno-claro-6469711?highlight=tres+prato&pid=1279075865 __________________ wish list: Violeta, Calderona. USDA z 10a, SoCal

Igor, There is no 'Sofeno Prato' as a fig name here! But there are still a few 'Sofeno Preto' around ... which is this fig : a delicacy becoming rare now! Their juices are so tasty that the birds, probably a smart golden oriole does not beck the fruit flesh/skin before sipping all its jelly. The markings on the skin of the left fig denote those many 'landings' On the right, that crystal drop of honey may have just started to ooze ..with just one nail marking The fig shown on that old topic is on some areas known as: 'Tres num Prato' or ' 3 on a dish' is no synonym to Sofeno Preto Prato = dish..plate.. Preto = black Tres = three (3) Francisco Portugal

Thank you , Francisco! Is the Tres Num Prato fig a synonym to Sofeno Claro by any chance? I believe that is what was mentioned in that thread. __________________ wish list: Violeta, Calderona. USDA z 10a, SoCal

Igor, your question : - Are Sofeno Prato and Tres Prato the same fig? My answer is: No, they are completely different figs. Francisco

Igor, On certain areas people also use the name 'Sofêno Claro' for 'Tres num Prato' The same Sofeno Claro is called 'Bomfim' as well, and I believe there may be other synonyms . Hope this helps Francisco

Francisco, it sounds like a fig perfect for our climate here in Southern California where we have summer year round (right, Greenfig?). :-) __________________ Meg-Hardiness Zone 10a Looking for...

I am sure it would equally sport its Violet bluish skin, the deep Bordeaux pulp colors as well as its generous flow of light crystal and flavored honey. Francisco Portugal
