Mary Magdalene and the Virgin Mary’s house fig

[drbud]

Well, here are photos of Mary Magdalene and the Virgin Mary’s favorite fig- this is my garden name for an Unk fig a friend gave me that she got from an old gnarled fig tree growing next to MM and the VM’s house in Ephesus (she put a cutting in her coat pocket). Of course, since MM and the VM lived their 2000 or so yrs ago and fig trees don’t live but 200 yrs, probably not the actual tree they ate off of, but surely a descendant since it’s still there by the Catholic Shrine or maybe someone propagated it for 2000 yrs. Into the Mystic! Anyway, it’s a tasty fig! I’m not good with describing flavors so I asked my wife what it tasted like and here’s what she said-
“Like a vanilla custard filling, not fruity or juicy, reminds me of Cotton Candy.”

I am going to add this fig to my wishlist - only one on it for now. Praying for a cutting or two.

Totally understand I would also want it for the history it brings.
