Vesuviana Bianca Mt. Vesuvius

[Dave]

Finally after 5 years I got my first figs on my Vesuviana Bianca from the foothills of Mt. Vesuvius the figs were absolutely delicious 1 or 2 of them could of stayed on the tree another day or two but I just couldn't take it anymore I'm not the best at describing the flavor of some figs but this one is 100% melon flavor I can't wait to see if it continues next year

Very nice Dave, I've never seen anyone offer that cultivar before. Sounds like a great one to start passing around.

[AscPete]

Thanks for sharing the photos and info...
Those figs and leaves reminds me of the Gillette cultivar.

[Dave]

[Dave]

No No No wait a minute Scott thats not me thats a picture I had for years that I got off the internet Thats all I need to get around the fig community LOL

[don_sanders]

Aww, don't be ashamed. As long as it makes you feel pretty, that's all that matters.

[Dave]

Well Scott being that you put it that way that could be my foot

Oooh... another melon tasting fig! The fig pix lower left has that cross shaped inside like mine has too, except mine's bright red:

[Dave]

what type of fig is it?

[hstark]

I don't know Dave, that's what I'd like to find out too. Some have said it looks like LSU Gold, but I don't think it is... the leaves look a bit like Kadota, but it's not Kadota either. I keep looking at other people's fig postings to see if there's any like it, but so far, the closest looking one is the Persian fig.
