I am probably one of the few people that own this fig. It's on its 3rd year (2nd full season - the first year was too short to fruit because I received the plant so late). Last year, the tree had 100% fruit drop, along with two other Lorusso varieties I had, so I chalked it up to being a smyrna fig. This year, the tree began its season dropping almost all its figs. However, one has held and ripened on the new year's growth, so it appears it is, in fact, common.
This may be one of those varieties where it takes a few years for the persistent gene to express itself, similar to Celeste, Pastiliere, Raspberry Latte, Coll de Dama diCiutat, and other common figs that are notorious "droppers" when they're young. Here are a few photos of the fig:
The fig was extremely sweet and very enjoyable. The interior looks very strange and it had some ants in it, so I had to cut a part of the interior out. This fig was on my cull list, but it's being temporarily removed, because the fig was delicious enough to deserve another season.
