One of our new favorites! This cold hardy fig is super productive of medium sized dark purple-black figs with delicious reddish pulp. The flavor is delicious, medium-rich, and better than most other Mt Etna figs out there. This Mt. Etna type fig has done far better for us than most others, including the Bordeaux types. A hardy, strong growing plant and very productive, ripens early-mid season until frost. Definitely one of our best Mt. Etna figs.
