Vasile ill tell you a little about this fig. The mother tree was originally a pingo de mel fig from portugal that started producing yellow figs with red stripes. Allot of cuttings and plants were taken from this tree but a couple season's ago the original plant reverted back to yellow figs. Adriano still has two Adriano plants one produces striped figs the other does not. |

It seem that the tree is not what it was drummed up to be,it is true that Adriano never said it came on as a sport on a Kadota Tree.He only pointed it was a sport mutation.If this little detail was on,It would have been a red flag to me. |

I just got an Adriano this year, it nearly died all the way back after transplant and not is growing very vigorously, about 10 inches in the last month, I hope it produces the red striped figs, I will find out next year I guess at least I have RdB to look forward to, assuming it survives the winter. |

I bough an Adriano several years ago from Brugmansia Quebec nursery, who Got it from Adriano. Like you, it took me several years to get it to ripen as the growing season is very long. Now that I am finally getting fruit this year, I see it either never was the Adriano or it has reverted back to Pingo de Mel. I am happy with the fig, in spite of everything. I never imagine myself being a fan of a honey fig, but here I am. It is quite good. |
