While I was googling for more information on the Kure Beach Unk., I came across this article. What could this Unk. Greek fig be? Sounds like a nice honey fig.
"For example, Joan Brunetti has a large Greek green fig tree growing in her Wilmington yard. Both her parents were Greek and, about 40 years ago, a cousin brought her back a cutting of a fig tree from Greece. They planted it in the garden of their first home. Later it was moved across the street to her present home and has been growing there happily for 30 years.
“The figs are large, almost like a baseball but not completely round, a very light shade of green, and when you tear it open, it’s white with strands of pink in the center,” said Brunetti. “It’s honey, honey sweet to taste.”
The article has some fig recipes at the end.
