Looks great Nelson 

Thanks Dan very tasty Breba

Take care of my branch. 
Got clippers will travel. 

Lol already told you. You are more than welcome.

Looks great, Nelson. Enjoy!

Thanks Ruben, I'm sure it would of been darker if I removed some leaves that were blocking the sun.

Looks delectable. How old is your tree?

Nelson, Thank God you are in Canada and a friend. Keep a tree for me when it is bigger to make one.

Dale got this tree last year and I was told he rooted it in 1999.

Paul u shall have your very own shortly.

Great looking fig.Thanks for the photos.Keep us updated on the main crop.Thank you.

Thank you Nelson.

Does this look any (somewhat) similar?

Interesting previous thread on this group of similar looking Italian figs:

http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post/Weeping-Fig-Aldo-Corleone-5527206

This entire group is very enticing.

This is a sals corleone 

Looking good Nelson . Any main crop ?

John

Akram , your very welcome.

Gorgi it does look allot alike was that also a breba?

Gina there are quite a few figs that look allot like sal's corleone possibly the same or related. I have not tasted any main crop from my sal's corleone yet.

Main Crop from Last year Looked like this.

John Yes lots of main crop already at stagnent stage for about 4 weeks.

Dan I had a sal's Corleone breba yesterday too and was much smaller and black in colour very good tasting as well tasted very similar but the Columbaro Nero was sweeter. Possibly due to it being 13 year old tree?

Come on already . Where do you keep coming up with these varieties ?
So much for reducing the number of trees I intend on having .
Good  job.

John

John lol it never ends. When main crop start to ripen ill call you and you can eat some. 

Beautiful looking figs!  And nice pics too... thanks for posting all of these.

Mike   central NY state, zone 5

The fruit and leaves resemble my Aldo's fig. Nice photos Nelson!

At first I thought several of these were different, but the CN you are showing resembles the Neri 1 (Brown Neri) in leaves and fruit.

I believed at one point, after tasting Sal's C., Aldo, and Weeping Black, that they were NOT the same.

But after a year of evaluation, if not the same, they are closely related.

Plus you may be able to throw CN in to the conversation since Neri 1, in leaves and taste resembles Sal's C. The only difference was that Neri produced more Brebas, of very good quality.

The Breba have a lighter blushed red look, while the main seem like a dark purplish mahogany.

Thanks Leon. 

Dominick I had a sals corleone Breba earlier that day and although it was smaller and different shape the taste profile was very very close even pulp color was the same. I agree that all the names mentioned on this thread are either the same or closely related.
