This is a very good quality fig, similar to Mt Etna class figs in leaf shape, fig season, and fig color, flavor and size. Some feel that the flavor is superior to many of the other Mt Etnas. It has reportedly good cold tolerance and is very productive. The first link has a good compilation of the history of this fig in the US. Despite this history, no one is really sure if this is the same as an old French variety Marseilles Black or not.Similar Varieties
