Description
The fruit is yellow-green in skin color with reddish-amber pulp. This skin color is competitive with the yellow-green Calimyrna, Kadota and Sierra but complimentary to the violet-black colored CA Brown Turkey and Mission. The Sequoia is a common type fig. This gives it an advantage over the Smyrna type Calimyrna in productivity and production efficiency. The Breba crop of Sequoia ranges from light to medium in volume. The Brebas are large in size with very good quality. The production of saleable Brebas gives the Sequoia an advantage over the Calimyrna, CA Brown Turkey and Sierra cultivars that either develop very few or no Brebas at all. The second crop of Sequoia is abundant with large to medium size. The Sequoia appears to maintain fruit size well into the fall in contrast to the small late-season fruit size of the Mission and Kadota and the absence of fruit on the Calimyrna. The ostiole or eye of the Sequoia is very tight, similar to the Sierra and Mission but substantially tighter than the Calimyrna, CA Brown Turkey and Kadota. The fruit flavor and quality of the Sequoia is as good as or better than all of the five established cultivars listed here with the exception of the Calimyrna. The Sequoia, which has Calimyrna in its pedigree, approaches the flavor of Calimyrna, but the Calimyrna, with all of its many production problems, still retains its position as the premier quality fig.
