Ischia Long Green Fig

Ischia, Italy (traditional)

I was not able to find documented origin history for Ischia Long Green through available research independent from the broader, genuinely disputed "Ischia" naming tradition already discussed at length elsewhere in this database under Black Ischia and Green Ischia — real historical uncertainty exists about whether any Ischia-named fig grown in the US today actually traces to the island of Ischia. If you have a source specific to this variety, it can be corrected with real information.
