another ID here. This fig was gotten in a scion exchange with one of our quieter members. She got it from a house her sister was living in in Atlanta and though the house was not in a Greek neighborhood there are many people from there. Maybe or not useful information. It has a few traits in common with Marseilles VS in terms of scurfyness of the leaf and in flavor. |

Similar in leaf shape and fig appearance to Hardy Chicago, Sal EL/Gene, Marseilles Black VS. Appears to be a Mt Etna type. Can't give a definitive ID, though. Lack of void inside the fruit rules out Sal Corleone. |

I agree with Jason, those leaves look very much like Hardy Chicago or one of it's close cousins |

Thanks. Does it help to add that the brebas were quite round and very spotted? |

Well, this does or does not make me happy! I have 4 in full leaf Hardy Chicago's rooted cuttings growing, and more to come. I have a couple rooting in slightly damp span-gum moss in a zip lock with one or two dry paper towels to absorb moisture, and I resist peeking... |

What is confusing? Those figs just look generally similar to me as far as their leaf shapes fruit shape/size/exterior/interior. No comparison on flavors. |
