Unk Greek Mykonos 2021

[kubota1]

Here’s one of my favorites that I haven’t posted about since 2014 on figs4fun. It’s a top of the line Mt Etna type, but larger usually. Very productive. I’ve been picking them for a couple weeks.

Oh man!
I see why you’ve been hiding it!
that is gorgeous! How’s the flavor?

[kubota1]

Has a nice rich berry flavor.

What do we know about this fig variety?

[kubota1]

Years ago a local to Pittsburgh area brought back cuttings from Mykonos.

[Otis]

Really nice haul all at once. Great looking fig.

[Michael]

Will you have any cutting of this one available this season?

[kubota1]

I won’t know until I start to put my trees away this fall.

Mt Etna is a super group of figs. I like the slightly lighter colour flesh on some of the figs.

in ground or pot? I picked my first in ground etna today and have been eating potted ones for over a month.

[kubota1]

It’s in a container. I won’t get a ripe in ground fig until probably mid to late September.

blaze I picked my first in-ground Mt. Etna (Norella quickly followed by others) on Aug. 13. I'm surprised I'm so far ahead of you.

@rewton
Yep you are. My in ground etnas are Kellie, Makedonia Dark and Sangue dolce. Kellie ripened first. I am going to visit my Enola friend this weekend and check out those trees as well.

If this Mykonos is as Etna as Vibo Valentia then i contest. So far Vibo Valentia has more the appearance of burgan unk than an Etna. Its young but already fruiting; Cant wait to try! A real beauty. Your pics of Mykonos look outstanding!

I’d very much be interested in growing this whenever it is available. Get you on
my Sourdough bandwagon in return 😁
Im not growing chiapetta yet but will be on the lookout for your finds. Cheers!

[kubota1]

I have a few more gems that I haven’t shown. More to come.
