The Italian Pissalutto Fig - As Tasty as Smith
Channel: Ross Raddi
Date: 13/10/2021

Pissalutto is the next fig. It's a well documented Italian variety that can be found all over the world. It's written about in nursery catalogues, Condit's monograph and even depicted in Gallesio's drawings. I can assure you that the flavor rivals and is similar to Smith. Easily one of the best tasting figs I grow. It's superb and complex. The shape and stem length is ideal, but minor splitting was observed recently after an inch of rain. The skin I don't believe contributes in a positive or negative way towards water absorption. Hang time is lower than average if desired to pick early. Drying capabilities unknown, light requirements low and therefore production is high. Overall a very special fig worth further study.
