White Genoa Additional Information

A medium, greenish-yellow fig with amber pulp. Brebas are oblique-pyriform; main crop are turbinate. Does not produce heavy crops of either brebas or main crop figs. Leaf: base broadly subcordate; 3-5 lobes. The flavor is excellent cooler areas of California, but does not hold up in hotter climates where Conadria is a far better choice. Late to ripen-even after the first frosts. Genoa needs annual pruning. (006)

Medium fruit. Yellow-green thin skin. Yellow to light strawberry flesh, few seeds. Good fresh and dried. Avoid hot climates. Coastal. (007) Large, green-yellow skin, reddish pulp. Good most years on coast. Used fresh or dried. (011)

Mid season and good in cool areas with large greenish-yellow fruit with amber flesh, good fresh eating variety and favored for jam making. Light crop in Dec and more in Feb-Mar, unique flavor. (014)

pyriform or turbinate, very faintly ribbed; neck thick and short, or absent; above medium in size; skin downy, greenish-yellow; pulp greenish-white near skin, mostly amber tinged with red; hollow; of fair quality. Fruits of breba crop oblique-obovate with thick neck and short stalk; yellowish-green externally; pulp light-red; of fair to good quality. (019)

Old variety, a favorite in cool coastal areas--also excellent inland. Greenish -yellow skin, amber flesh, distinctive flavor. Prune to any shape. 100 hours. Self-fruitful. (025)

Old variety, a favorite in cool coastal areas, also excellent inland. Medium large fruit has thin greenish-yellow skin and amber flesh with distinctive flavor. Best for fresh eating; poor quality when dried. Bears twice a year. Prune to any shape. (034)

(Genoa, White Marseilles, Marseilles, Figre Blanche, Blanche, Ford's Seedling, White Naples, Lattarula, Lemon). Large, pyriform, skin yellowish green mottled with white, pulp amber; one of the best of old varieties for all purposes (Goodmans 1914). Large, pale brown, very sweet, medium (Railton 1880). Light chartreuse skin, rich amber to yellow flesh, lemony flavor at its peak, eat fresh from the tree (Brennan 1995). Yellow-green skin, amber flesh, good mild flavor, recommended for cooler areas (Glowinski 1991). Light breba crop of large oblique-pyriform fruit with light strawberry pulp, hollow at the centre. Main crop blemished by circular brown spots at maturity, thin skinned (Facciola 1990). Facciola distinguishes between White Genoa and White Marseilles. (Burnley 1896). Still common in cultivation (Lord 1957). Still commercially available, Flemings. SC.(Australia) (060)

Medium, skin is greenish yellow to white, flesh yellow-amber. Sweet, good fresh or dried. Light breba and main crops.Tree upright, requires constant annual pruning. Best adapted to cooler regions of the West. Very late in northern California, continuing to ripen even after first frosts. (075)

Large fruit has a thin, greenish-yellow skin, with amber to yellow, flavorful flesh. Good for eating fresh. Bears June through frost. Produces well in Southern Calif. coastal areas. Self-fertile, hardy to 10 degrees F. (076)

Medium fruits with yellowish green skin, yellow amber flesh. Sweet flavour. Came to us from South Africa. (089)
