Description
From Danny:
The confusion from Sal's Corleone and Sal's ( EL ) comes from the old Belleclare Nursery inventory list. Chris has 2 'Sicilian Black ' (Synonym for Sal's Corleone) listed, #30 Sicilian Black (Verna Grosso), then #31 Sicilian Black (Sal's) Corleone) (Fico di Capo) (Fico-Nera). You can see where the confusion starts. #31 is listed with a moniker/origin, followed by 2 more synonyms. Edible Landscaping is said to have gotten hold of Sal's (#39 from Belleclare list, with one synonym the same as #31, but clearly 2 different figs)
From Scott_ga on ourfigs:
Sal's Corleone was distributed by the Belleclare Nursery and was #31 on their list as Sicilian Black (Sal's) (Corleone. Plants could have been labeled Sal's BC #31. EL ">Sal's EL was also distributed by Belleclare and was #39 on their list as Sicilian Black (Sal's). Gene Hosey also got his Sal's from Edible Landscaping. It supposedly originated from somebody named Sal in Huntington Station, Long Island and went via Paul Traceski, and then Hanc Matthies to EL . Paul Traceski also gave this fig to Belleclare. (from Gene Hosey's site and the Belleclare catalog list). the DiPaulo brothers at Belleclare are on some videos showing Martha Stewart around their potted figs.
