Finding a Specific Fig Tree

19 years ago

I am looking for the variety of fig tree that grows in my father's home town of Cariglio (outside of Fuscaldo and Paolo) in western Calabria. The tree was only 10-15' tall, as I'm only 4'10" and could reach the fruit. The fruit was green outside and pink inside. From what I remember it was very sweet.

Another of my un-ID'd varieties . This one is from an old tree in a state park. The tree was planted generations ago by the owners of the now abandoned house where the tree grows aside of. The fig has a very thick, green skin. The mother tree never gets watered so the figs tend to not be as large and plump as I feel that they should be. My young trees from the mother tree are now 2 years old. I am hoping that I will get decent figs from them in one more year. FF

I have a picture of myself picking a fig from the tree, but I don't know how to upload it to the site. The leaves do not look like the one in your picture, but the fuit looks similar.

Most of the leaves on the tree are three lobed. I just happened to take this leaf at the time. This picture is two years old. FF

Thick green skin, greenish fig, that type of leaf: looks like Kadota to me (also known as Dottato).
