How many of you believe this to be true? My first SR was very good.

Saint Rita Another Mount Etna?

Given what I've seen online, seems quite possible, and I have a rooted cutting of St Rita that looks like it might have Mt Etna leaves. But I would like to see the fruit for myself, and more leaves first-hand. Hopefully next year.Tony WV 6b

I've been eating St. Rita, Bari, and Lebanese Red lately. Out of these three the LR has been a bit better than the other two. Unfortunately, my Mt. Etna figs are in-ground and haven't ripened yet. I'm certainly willing to believe that the flavor profile of St. Rita is close enough to that of a Mt. Etna that it may not be necessary to have both a Mt. Etna and a St. Rita if space is tight. As for St. Rita being a Mt. Etna, I think the leaves are a bit different. I'll look again and if I change my mind I'll comment again.Steve

The fruit's appearance and taste scream Mount Etna. In a good way...

I've thought that myself. Will look again tomorrow when the sun is up.
