@"Figology"#21 . I think I may have misrepresented what I was trying to say in my previous post. I didn't mean that nobody had presented yellow long neck or golden rainbow without a UCR source. What I meant to say was nobody who had that golden rainbow, or yellow long neck UCR source had an addition a long yellow neck variety whether UCR or not sourced. It was like telling a young blind man the difference between blondes redheads and brunettes without ever having a brunette to compare the other two. Or buying somebody a half gallon of Neapolitan ice cream to try having first consumed. all the chocolate ice cream. So if that's going down the rabbit hole please lend me a flashlight. I watched Lou Monte two videos in the second one he does backtrack saying that he believes that there is a genetic inheritance likely between long yellow neck, and yellow long neck, and golden rainbow. I do believe he's got a much better argument in the neck of the long yellow neck then the Spade leaves we all see appear in some first year figs. The differences in the neck are what convinced me he might actually have a point. Lou Monte does have a purported long yellow neck from a trusted source Vito, from upstate New York. He is clearly lacking a UCR sourced long yellow neck to compare the other two varieties for similarities, and/or differences. By the way the Vito he mentions as his source is likely to be one of @"NYCfigs"#27 Longshore uncles, mentioned today in another thread. I guess nobody has yet produced all three varieties for a comparison. Let alone all three, having been sourced from the UCR collection. Having said this I am now climbing out of the rabbit hole. Very thirsty I might add on one of the hotter days this year in California. My last statement is anyone who tries the three variety comparison always has the long yellow neck missing in action. They have always lost that one variety. For whatever reason it does appear to be somewhat less vigorous. @Figology do you know who's got a long yellow neck from UCR?
