I am in the process of rooting a few cuttings of Brogiotto Bianco from a European friend. I have read that this fig is synonymous with Fico Genovese.

You're right Leon, I've read it on an Italian Page too.
But Adrianos Fico Genovese is a dark purple fig!?
It would be boring without this fig-name-confusion. :-)

Hi Leon
The fig I am looking for is the black one on Adreano's web page. I think he may have it misnamed. I wonder if anyone can identify the dark purple Fico Genovese on Adriano's page.

Thanks Ed

This page is written in Italian by Giorgio Gallesio, more or less in the 1798 year.
He identifies this fig as Fico Genovese, but he was wrong in some appreciations about Valence where this fig exists and takes its name from Burjassot, town near of Valence.
In the AdrianoÂs page the fico Genovese is in the bottom with a cross.
I think it is misnamed but may be really it is known like this in Genova.

Here is a link that might be useful: Brogiotto

Hello xon2000
Thank you for the wonderful information. I have visited your home page and it is a wealth of information. You have a great collection of figs. You have confirmed that Adriano may have a misnamed fig.

Hi Leon,
It is amazing how you find so many unusual figs. Your Brogiotto Bianco looks to be a wonderful fig. You have a most unique collection of figs.

My earlier post gave an incorrect address to Adriano's page.
The correct address is http://www.adrianosfigtrees.com/
Adriano gives this discription of his fig.

"One of the very best with a special delicate taste and very juicy. Large to very large dark purple fig. It has two crops. Hardy in cold climate, it is a very good producer and a good pot plant."

Thanks again Leon and Xon2000
