Grise Olivetti fig info request

[greenfig]

Could you post any photos/feedback on this fig, please? What is its history?
I remember good things about it but cannot find any traces of the description.
Thank you!

[greenfig]

Interesting, many views but no replies. Is it a real fig? Anybody has it? Could you shed some light, please?

[Hershell]

Apparently this fig doesn't exist. Sorry, I couldn't help it.

I have gris Olivette. I got it from Bass. I have yet to taste a fig from it, but it is healthy. It is a three year old tree. I think he mentioned it was a Baud fig. Beyond that, I don't know much about it.

[greenfig]

Wow, 3 years and you are still waiting, that is some patience! I have not seen any references to it online , shouldn't be s Baud's fig be more known?

[Dave]

[Bigbill]

Ah! That means my spelling was off since the Olivetti search does not return anything. Thanks, guys! Awesome!

Anybody tasted it?

[Bluemalibu]

Or, taste a post?

[Hershell]

That would work too

[greenfig]

That is the power of forums and their great members!!!
Thank you!
Is it a berry taste fig?

[figgysid1]

Just had my 1st ripe one yesterday. I have 15 Grise Olivette fig trees in 20 gal pots.

Reddish brown, medium-large figs. Solid center, unique flavor, I can't put it in a single category. It had a mix of sugar, honey and berry flavor.

[greenfig]

Very nice, thank you for your feedback !
Congrats to a lucky owner and a good fig.

[Harborseal]

Hershell, I'm pretty sure you have one of these.

[Hershell]

Yea, but I can't remember much about it.

[Dave]

I found this fig on ebay Gris Olvilette and it has a yellow interior? Any one know what fig it may be? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Grise-Oliv...IAAOSw-kdXxi4Q

[greenfig]

I do not know who the seller is but it seems the Sid's one is the correct fig.
Maybe grown in some funny conditions it becomes yellow inside? I believe it should be red though

[figgysid1]

The outside color and fig shape look correct. They are tan brown to reddish brown. Size is 70-90 grams. They always have those white strands in the fruit. They add a marshmallow-like texture that I like.

The flavor is much better than you would think, by looking at the outside. A don't judge a book by it's cover fig.

Here is another one that has a less red interior. This one was around 90 grams. I got my 15 cuttings from Marius.

Looks tasty.

[Harborseal]

Here's an Olivetti Grise. I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier.

[greenfig]

Gris indeed! How does it taste?
I think it needs to be on a sun more, the red is missing

[figgrower]

If you could only post a taste!

[Hershell]

I tell my employees that if I someone hints at something there usually trying to tell you something in a nice way. Is that the point of this? Or do I resemble that remark?

[figgrower]

Just being helpful!

[Dave]

Lol

[Hershell]

I gotcha
