Description
Deanna produces large green figs that ripen to yellow or greenish yellow. The strawberry to amber flesh is considered to be of very good quality. The small eye helps to minimize spoiling. Deanna is another fig that came out of Dr. Ira Condit's breeding program at UC Davis, Riverside. It was developed to replace Calimyrna and it also has good cold hardiness. Deanna is a very large fig with fruits over 100 grams being typical. The fruit has a green exterior and an amber to light red pulp with a sweet taste. It was originally developed as part of Ira Condit's breeding program. It was bred to be resistant to cracking and splitting.

Deanna remains the largest and one of the most delicious honey type figs in my collection of over 50 varieties(never really counted them). Having moved it to a 25 gallon pot early this year, was'nt sure of what I would get.
Today I tasted my first of the season. It had this deep yellow color and a wonderful honey flavor that I can safely say, it would be hard to beat. The size is a major advantage too. One Deanna = Four Celestes. Had to cut it into four pieces and really enjoyed this snack.
When compared with many other varieties, is productive also. It produces every season without interruptions. I cannot say anything about this variety except that it is outstanding and glad to have it. I give this one a Ten.
If I was to keep one yellow honey type fig once I start culling, it would have to be Deanna.
I would like to add that in a previous year this tree got stressed due to being Root bound or lack of watering on schedule. This Resulted in figs that were relatively dry and had no flavor. Even the color on the inside was different.
For those who get discouraged whenever you get poor results in pots, you cannot always blame it on the fig.
After tasting this one today my wife goes "wow!", "this is what you want in a fig ", "this is the real thing"...
