Very nice fig.
Uncommon but very attractive pulp colors and practically no flesh !
It's a winner ! Congratulations.

It's a good tasting fig.I just got done my two airlayers and put them in a 1 gallon pot each.Not looking for trades.Selling them is a different story.

To put things in perspective as to where this figs originally came from:

https://www.google.com/search?q=Montenegro&client=tablet-android-hms-tmobile-us&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#dest_mid=%2Fm%2F08qcph&fpstate=trfpi&mie=0&trref=%5Bnull%2C%5Bnull%2C1%5D%5D

Looks like a nice place to visit.

This is another example of a fig from the Adriatic coasts of Italy and Croatia and the other coastal areas of the former Yugoslav republics such as Slovenia to the north, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia, Herzegovina as well as Albania and Greece to the south. These lands, climates and countries produce many beautiful known and recognized as well as UNK varieties of figs... Not sure if this is a known variety with a different name that falls under the cultivar list already previously discussed in this forum as proffered by Nelson years ago or a new UNK not on those lists; in any case a beauty...

@exoticplants1 - Are you offering them exclusively for sale to forum members first (what prices?) or generally through eBay auction? I believe Dave already inquired as to your pricing for the Montenegro earlier in the thread (you may have replied to him in a PM?)...

Thanks
T
