Description

I-258 is a large dark bluish colored fig with a medium to dark red interior. It is a favorite fig among collectors and is similar to Bourjassote Grise, but reportedly sweeter. It produces early and heavily. The fruit is sweet, richly-flavored, and juicy. I-258 is one of a series of Italian figs imported by collected Todd Kennedy from Dr. Grassi. Dr. Grassi had lost his notes so the original names of these Italian varieties have been lost.

The growing characteristics, leaf shape, fruit ripening times/flavor/size/and coloring lead many to believe that the cultivar is Genovese Nero AF.
