USDA / UC Davis Accession Data
A small to medium fig giving two crops. Leaf: deeply subcordate, 3 to 5-lobed with shallow sinuses, light green. Brebas: medium, grayish-bronze with light pink pulp, oblique-turbinate to pyriform, large and open eye. Rich and sweet. Main crop: delicate violet-gray with strawberry pulp. Other characters, including flavor, are much the same as in the brebas except for one distinctive feature: there is a heavy bloom on the body with a very sharp demarcation line with the apex which is devoid of bloom. Note: I do not have this variety and would very much like to acquire it. (006) Medium, violet-gray fruit with excellent flavor. Negative factor is large eye.(001c)
