What is that on the eye ? Is that the Guardian lol.
Looks like your on your way. By next year this time you will have a nice size great production tree.

This tree will take a long time to produce, and a slow grower but worth the wait. Taste wise, this late variety is extremely hard to beat.

Last year Bellone was my No.1 tasting fig over many big names De la Reina, I258, Noir de Caromb etc.

Paully, 

How would you compare it to Kathleen's Black, Noire de Caromb or Maltese Falcon in taste?

I have not heard of this variety. Sounds interesting with its ancient history

@Ross -- I like Bellone over the 3 named figs.
