Conadria Additional Information

Hardy with good rebound from freezes. (004)

There may be two variants of Conadria; one that ripens early, and one the ripens late. F4F Acc. No. 2702 is definitely a very late ripening variant. A supposedly earlier variant has not fruited, yet. (910)

F4F Acc. No. 0095 (late) fruited well in a pot in the 2012 season and was very noticeably good. (910)

Vigorous and precocious tree produces a good breba crop and a very good second crop. Yellow-green skinned figs have strawberry colored sweet flesh and are good for fresh eating and drying. They have a small eye and resist spoilage. Introduced in Riverside, CA in 1955. (1158)

Vigorous tree. Fruit medium-sized, firm. Skin greenish-yellow to white blushed purple. Flesh strawberry colored. Excellent for Drying. (002)

Leaf: base cordate; 5 lobes, middle lobe spatulate. Worth a trial in northerly areas. (006)

Large fruit. Light green skin. Light strawberry flesh, flavor sweet and mild. Good fresh and dried. Good white for hot areas and will take desert winter chill. Inland valleys. (007)

[One of] Dr. Condit's [varieties which] came out of the breeding program at Riverside, Calif. and were selected on the basis of being crack- and split-resistant; most have a small eye. All have very high sugar content and are very resistant to decay. A medium to large yellow-green fig with light strawberry pulp and rich flavor. Bred by Ira Condit and released in 1957. Pyriform. Well adapted in California and the Southeast. Hardy with good rebound from freezes. (004)

(Adriatic Hybrid) A light greenish yellow fig. The eye is very tight and small. Average weight is 1.7 oz. Two crops. Very good fresh or dried with excellent flavor. (013)

Conadria (Genoa) , Large, White, Round, Light-Strawberry-Pink Center (2crops) (Condit Hybrid). (012)

Light greenish-yellow skin, pink flesh. Not as sweet as Kadota, but resists spoilage. Fresh/dried. Very vigorous, long-lived tree. Heavy crops, coast or inland. (025)

Origin Ira Condit, Riverside 1956. First artificial hybrid fig. Fruit pale green, medium, flesh strawberry red. Mildly sweet. Good fresh, excellent dried. More productive than Adriatic but of lesser quality. Light breba crop. Tree vigorous, tends to excessive growth under irrigation, best in hot climates. (075))

Skin and flesh colors: Green-yellow; strawberry Widely adapted. A hybrid developed in California. Average-sized figs are flavorful, crunchy, juicy, excellent fresh or dried. Fast-growing tree produces spring and summer crop. (022)

Bred by Prof. Ira Condit at Riverside in the early 1950's by crossing White Adriatic and a Capri type fig; introduced in 1956. The fruit is pale green, medium sized and has strawberry red flesh which is mildly sweet. Mainly used as an excellent drying fig. Has a light breba crop. The tree is vigorous, tends to excessive growth under irrigation. Does best in hot climates. Offered in Australia by Birdwood Nursery in Nambour in Qld in 1996. Datte Listed in the Report by George Neilson for the RVHS gardens at Burnley in 1875. Not mentioned elsewhere. (Australia) (021)

The original hybrid fig - Bred by Ira Condit, Riverside 1956. Fruit pale green, medium, flesh strawberry red. Mildly sweet. Good fresh, excellent dried. More productive than Adriatic but of lesser quality. Tree vigorous, tends to excessive growth under irrigation, best in hot climates. Will produce in the north but only in a very warm micro-climate. (026) (026a)

Light greenish-yellow skin, pink flesh. Flavorful; not as sweet as Kadota, but resists spoilage. Use fresh/dried. Very vigorous, long-lived tree. Heavy crops coast or inland. (034)

Needs summer heat. The fruit is large and light green. (036)

The University of California has maintained a fig cultivar improvement programsince 1922. The "Conadria" and "DiRedo" cultivars were released to the industry from this program in the mid 1950s and the "Tena" cultivar was selected and released in the mid 1970s. The key to the development of hybrid fig seedlings that are persistent or of the "common" type came in 1942 when Dr. Ira Condit discovered a unique type of caprifig growing at Cordelia, California. This caprifig, thought to be a European cultivar named "Croisic," was parthenocarpic, edible and could pass on the persistent characteristic to a portion of a seedling population developed from it. In time, through the efforts of Dr. William Storey, the Cordelia caprifig was improved through hybridization. By the late 1970s, three superior persistent caprifigs had been identified for use as pollen parents, each bearing heavy loads of fruit with green skin, white meat and amber pulp. One of the caprifigs contained genes of the Calimyrna cultivar. By the late 1980s, with additional hybridization, four new persistent caprifigs had been identified by James Doyle, each containing a varying percentage of the Calimyrna genome. (047)(016)

Vigorous and productive. Good quality. Tolerates heat and drought. (001c)

Rating of this variety by fig grower, Mr. Ray Givan, in Pomona, Vol. XXIX, No. 1, Winter 1996: Very good; sweet and rich, large figs. Info on this variety from Watts, Figs in Coastal Southern California, Fruit Gardeners, California Rare Fruit Growers, Vol. 23, No. 6, December 1991: Large, green-yellow skin, reddish pulp. Hybrid of White Adriatic and succulent Caprifig. Released in 1956. Produces excellent figs on coast. Most prolific every year. Skin cracks all over but does not split. Good either fresh or dried. Info on this variety from Sanders, Figs in Containers, Fruit Gardeners, California Rare Fruit Growers, Vol. 23, No.6, December 1991: Medium-to-large fruit with a thin, light-green skin. Light-pink flesh has excellent, rich flavor. Productive, vigorous, disease-resistant, medium-sized tree. Info from Commercial Dried Fig Production in California, University of California, Leaflet 21051, p. 6, November 1978: Conadria was developed and released in 1956 by Ira Condit of the University of California. The breba fruits are large and can be used fresh or dried. Fruits of the second crop are numerous, medium sized, and have a relatively small eye. This variety is a heavy producer, and the fruits are utilized much like those of Adriatic. The tree also leafs out with Adriatic. (049b)

Medium sized fruit the skin of which is greenish-yellow to white, flushed with purple. Strawberry coloured flesh. (089)

Yellow fig with high sugar content. Can be used for dried figs and fresh fruit. Introduced in 1955 B Ira Condit USDA Riverside, CA. Fruit resists spoilage in rainy weather and has a small eye so it rates good for insect resistance. Produces 2 crops. The 1st crop, breba crop is good, the second crop, very good. In zone 7 produces only one crop. Can be grown in a 10g pot and planted in the ground, in the pot, after winter storage (temps no lower than 30*F) where it will root through the pot and produce large excellent figs in summer, as experience b a hobbyist in Smyrna, Delaware. Plant is vigorous, precocious, widely planted in the San Joaquin Valley, CA. Zone 5-7 pots. Zone 8-9 outside. (003)

(Adriatic Hybrid, Verdone Hybrid) is named for the most outstanding fig breeder in the US - Ira Condit, who created this fig variety which was released to the trade in 1975. Conadria is a beautiful, medium to large yellow fig with a light pink interior. An exceptionally juicy fig for fresh eating, Conadria is well adapted throughout the south and has shown a good rebound from seasonal freezes that makes us think it would do well as far north as southern NJ in protected locations. (000)

Conadria is a delectable honey fig - golden outside and deep rose inside - with a melt-in-your mouth flavor. This is a large full season fig, producing one large crop of figs midsummer for most gardening areas. Travellers remark on the big, juicy golden figs of southern Italy... Conadria brings those memories to life in your garden. This is an American hybrid from the renowned fig breeder, Ira Condit. (016)

Conadria Early F4F Acc. No. 0537 ripened 2nd week of August, 2013. (910)
