Description

Paradiso-Gene was identified by Gene Hosey as a fig growing in a yard in the Washington DC area owned by a person of Italian descent. I believe this person called the fig "Paradiso". Gene linked it to the painting by Gallesio showing Paradiso.

Gene's Paradiso DFIC 0307

Gene may have linked this variety to that of the image of Gallesio, however, it is not the same as Paradiso (Siro) which is a variety with mostly 5 lobes and you can see the info on that variety here.

Gene Hosey 2009:

The same person also mentioned that Green Ischia, Fico Verde, and Paradiso are closely related -- and perhaps even the same fig. The abstract of a recent study indicates that diversity of European and Aisan fig population is low. So Davis may need to use more markers to distinguish between varieties than it's currently using.
