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.
