In my area there is a nursery that carries what they call atreano golden. In my opinion it is the same fig that belleclare sold as atreano. Large greenish yellow figs with a red interior. I can post a picture of the fruit if that helps.

This is a Belleclare fig tree? Also ejp3 I live in NY (Long Island)I was wondering if we saw this tree at the same nursery

Amigo, I sent you an e-mail.

Just to clear up some confusion, Belleclares was not the original source of the tree. It was Hanc Mathes, who gave it to them and a few other members from what I remember.

Hello ejp,
I was wondering could you please post a pic of your Golden Atreano?Thanks

I have an Atreano Gold fig. The leaf pattern is a little different than Atreano. I have 2 Goldens and one 4 year old Atreano. All three are beautiful trees. The fruit is green then when it ripens it turns gold. I'll post some pictures later. I wish I had 2 more Goldens, they are beautiful. If you guys get one at your local nursey, contact me privately...I will definately pay you for the tree and your trouble.

Hi Dennis where did you buy your golden Atreano's at?What nurseries carry it?Thanks and God Bless.

There is only one "Atreano" fig in the industry. This is the name given to a variety imported from the Naples area by a very special fig lover. Hanc shared it with the Belleclare Nursery years ago and the rest is history. We should leave the name alone.

Hi Leon,
Could I please see a pic of your Atreano?Or could you please describe it?Thanks and God Bless.

Thank you Leon very nice looking fig.

Here is mine:It has leaVES AND FRUITS iDENTICAL TO dR. lEON TREE.
I leave mine longer on tree so that is why they look yellower,and not because the tree is different.

Sorry Leon and Herman2 but I do have a Arteano Golden Fig. I got mine miss labeled by Lowes 2 years ago. I also have a 3 year old Atreano Fig. The leaf patterns of both of my trees are not the same. And the fruit on both are green until they start to get ripe. My Atreano Golden fig turns a Chartruese color. See attached link for more information. cheers, Dennis

Here is a link that might be useful: Golden Atreano matches my green fig

Hi Dennis,

In the photo in the picture of the second post-photo, it looks as though the eyes of the figs are tightly closed. Are they? And are the eyes of the regular Atreano that tight--That is, if they eyes are that tightly closed as they appear?

Might it be called Atreano Gold because the pulp is not as red as the regular Atreano. The one Herman gave me to try seemd to have a darker pulp, but maybe I'm not remembering it correctly. The burst of delicious flavor overshadowed anything else because it was so good.

Thanks,

Hello Leon and others! I have a confession. My Atreano Golden came from a friend of mine and I think his last name is Mecurio. He use to live about an hour and a half east of me just southh of Raleigh. I found my notes and now understand what happened. The fig he sold me was called Golden Atreano. I found the original label when I moved all my trees inside. What happened to me was squirrels! I make metal tags on all my tree and I found the metal tag bent down tucked in the corner of the container. After investigating other trees, I found 5 others with the same problem.....SQUIRRELS! Anyway, the tree is really called Atreano Gold. The leaf patterns are different from Atreano but grows very fast like Atreano. I remember now, Mr Mercurio said he purchase a lot of rare cuttings up north and also got cuttings from friends back home in Italy and Canada. He had a lot trees for sale back in 2008 and I bought around 8 or 10 from him. One day he emailed me saying he was moving back home and needed to sell his tree collection. I was suppose to go visit and purchase all his trees but could not make the trip. The eye on these figs are closed. I plan on planting this tree in my yard come spring. In my pictures below I called the fig Green Turkey because I did could not find the label. I thought I bought the tree from Lowes. The reason why is in 2008 I started my collection and bought 2 Brown Turkey figs and repotted 4 trees in the exact same container color and all. All 4 trees had their tags removed and I assume I got them from Lowes but that day I only bought 2 from Lowes. I found the 2 BT from Lowes. They were in a different location from my other trees and I thought my Atreano Golden was the BT. Well, I"m glad I located my notes and labels. I relabeled all my trees and double labels some. Here are a few more pictures:

cheers, Dennis

Here's photos of the Atreano eye:

Hi Dennis, This brings out the importance of keeping notes and records, etc. Glad you found your information to be able to tell us.

Please keep us informed about this tree--very interesting and the pulp is a different color from the Atreano that Herman let me taste. His was more red.

Noss, a few more days ripening would give it more colour. My brother loves his figs just before fully ripen. I prefer them fully ripen with juicyness & flavor. Also, there are 2 Atreano's ---- one is known as Atreano RR(Rolling Rivers) and the other is Atreano OR(Original). If I am not wrong, Jon had said the OR is better, may be not by a stretch. My RR interior is reddish. Have no figs from my OR yet.

Hi Paully,

Thanks for the information.

Herman's Atreano, if I remember it correctly, was redish all through the pulp, but it was so good, I ate it all very quickly. :) I could be mistaken.
