The mother tree is never protected but rarely dies back and fruits well every year. It is a very cold hardy fig. The fruit ripens early to mid-season and is small to medium in size. It is a dark fig with a dark interior. It is thought to have originated in Greece.

This is a Mt Etna class fig, original source unknown, but found by Bass in a Greek neighborhood in Bethlehem PA. For me, I have noted that it seems a little less cold tolerant than my Sal's(Gene) or Chicago Hardy. It is similar in flavor, fig size and color, season, and leaf appearance to others in this class.
