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 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.
