About 2 years ago, I purchased a fig tree from a forum friend. It was suppose to be Brogiotto Bianco. Well it was not! This is the second year that this tree which is now 6 feet tall produced some amazing large black figs! I have this tree growing inside my greenhouse. It is a honey fig! I came out this morning and saw this long drip of honey coming from the eye and NO ANTS!!!!!! I taped the tree a few days ago! Here are the pics! The taste was spectacular! I just wish I knew what cultivar it is! __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a

Brian, I hope you are incorrect as I acquired Moscatel Preto this Spring and was told it didn't need the wasp. Plus there is this thread from some of our Canadian friends who have had success with it: http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/moscatel-preto-fig-6524979 Maybe there is more than one fig called Moscatel Preto? Dennis, sorry to hijack the thread... __________________ Steve MD zone 7a

Ira Condit lists Moscatel Preto as a Common Type Fig not needing Caprification: Moscatel Preto (syn. Bêbera). Described and illustrated by Bobone (1932). Known as Moscatel Preto at Coimbra, and Bêbera at Cacela and on the island of Madeira. The tree produces two crops. Mello Leotte (1901), on the other hand, described Bêbera as a variety which does not produce a first crop, and the second crop as requiring caprification. Brebas oblique-pyriform, sometimes much elongated; neck thick; stalk short; color violet-black; pulp dark carmine, streaked with violet; flavor sweet and agreeable. Second-crop figs pyriform, elongated specimens unusual in having the internal cavity narrowed at the base rather than rounded; stalk short; color green toward the stalk, violet on the body; surface smooth, puberulent; pulp carmine; texture fine; quality good. Download the PDF of Condit's "Fig Varieties: A Monograph" from my website. It should be required reading for everybody on this Forum!

No problem Steve . My fig looks completely different than this one. I don't think it is that fig. I might be able to ID this fig. I just need more time to research. Should not be hard to find....large black honey fig with white spots. Hey Dr Leon, and JV....what do you think this fig looks like? __________________ Dennis Charlotte, North Carolina/Zone 8a

Just a guess, perhaps Brogiotto Nero?
