Description
Introduced in 1901 from Algiers as a very valuable variety, found growing by a stone quarry above the Jardin d’Essai du Ham MA . “It is probably from this tree that the Blastophaga was introduced into California in 1899.” (Swingle, in description of P.I. No. 6,475; see also, No. 6,481, P.I. Inventory No. 10.) Tree vigorous; leaves medium, 3- to 5-lobed; base truncate to subcordate. Mamme crop fair at Riverside, California; figs below medium, pyriform, with prominent short neck; white flecks prominent; surface smooth, hardly at all ribbed; color green; interior violet. Profichi crop good; figs below medium, pyriform, with prominent neck and short stalk; color green until mature, then becoming reddish violet with conspicuous bloom; interior violet. Quality fair, but not worthy of commercial planting.
