Trifera |
Trifera refers to fig varieties that produce three crops per year: the breba crop (from previous season's growth), the main crop (from the current year's growth), and a third, often smaller crop that typically ripens at the end of the growing season. This rare and highly prized fig characteristic offers an extended harvest season and increased fruit yield. Trifera figs are particularly valuable to collectors and growers due to their unique cropping behavior, though they are not as common as dual-crop or unifera varieties. |
