A little-known local gem (Greenville, NC), this tree grows in the yard of East Carolina University students who come and go each year. The original planter is unknown but I am attempting to reach the owner of the property for comment.
It is a sweet, but not too-sweet fig that tastes overwhelmingly of berry, with an excellent seed crunch as well. The skin is thin and is presumably the source of the faint sweetness. The pleasant and distinct berry flavor lingers on the palate for quit some time after consuming, persistent even after traditional palate cleansers.
