I'm growing several Lungo del Portugallo figs here. They are a dark fig when ripe, and incredibly delicious. I only got a few ripe ones the first year, and I had to share :( So I airlayered it like crazy after the last ripe fig was done. How good were they?? Good enough to make first time tasters into fig fanatics.... |

Lungo del Portugallo is supposed to be the same fig as Melanzana Calabrese. |

This was mine, but not yet 100% ripe. This picture was taken in early September, so it is a late season fig. |
