Fico Fetifero (or bone)
This cool two-tone original
Southern Piedmont-high Liguria,
It has the characteristic of lead
a fetus inside the syconium,
from which the name fetifero or bone.
The second denomination
derives from the fact that the enlargement

achenes content in the pulp in
proximity dell'ostiolo condensing them
in a kind of agglomeration
that, during the tasting,
It can give the feeling
the presence of a bone.

If Paolo is the author, (I think) he's stating that Fetifero was discovered again and presented at a fruit exhibition in 1995.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello everyone!  The season has wound down here in NYC.  VdS, I258 and CdDG are still producing very sparingly and will all but end very shortly.  Haven't had much time for updates (saving everything for the winter) but I wanted to update this thread on our Dall' Osso.  This variety gets high grades from us all around except for growth rate which is excruciatingly slow.  It was the earliest variety in the backyard orchard for both crops this season and it has been very productive (That's a real winner here in NYC by any standard).  The quality of fruit is outstanding.  Main crop very sweet and the kids are loving it.  It produced some deformed fruit but nothing two-toned like last season.  Can't wait to see what it does next year.  Added link to the slideshow.  Enjoy the pics.
