Salato - A local Italian fig that is a new Favorite

Описание: Salato. It's a local Italian variety grown by a few European hobbyists. Reminds me a lot of Bellone, but I have limited proof to suggest they are the same. The fig is densely textured, highly flavored, has an average hang time, the stem length is desirable, but the shape is on the less slender side, overall split resistance is good, the skin's water absorption rate seems about average (this could be because the tree was transplanted in ground in June and did not appreciate the lack of water in its new home), drying capabilities are better than average, the sunlight requirement to set the fruit buds is low and therefore production is high on this tree (the wide natural angle of the branches definitely contributed to this fact and therefore light requirements may not be low, but instead the wide angle of the branches is suitable to attain the light requirement desired).
