eboone From Zone 6 On Aug 02 2019

This is a widely known fig, originally sold by Belleclaire Nursery on Long Island (BC35), who believed it was from Malta and a 'grandparent' to Celeste. In leaf appearance, fig season, productivity, and fig color, size and flavor it seems to be in the Mt. Etna class, though some have reported better flavor. It has some degree of cold tolerance.
