Description
See description by Eisen (1901) as Smyrna No.2, and by Roeding (1903, 1914), Rixford (1918a); and Condit (1920a, 1947). Introduced by Fred Roeding, Fresno, with Roeding No.1, but is seldom found in commercial plantings. Tree distinctive, on account of its upright habit of growth and slender twigs; bark of trunk scaly, as shown by Condit (1941a, figure 20); leaves below medium, mostly 5-lobed; sinuses, of medium depth; base cordate; surface somewhat glossy. Mamme crop small or none; figs small, 1 inch or less in diameter, spherical, without neck; ribs narrow, mostly prominent; eye scales pinkish; color greenish violet; interior purple. Profichi crop fair to good; figs small to medium, spherical to pyriform, with prominent neck that is often flattened; apex rounded, with eye slightly protruding; surface smooth, glossy, greenish yellow, becoming reddish violet at complete maturity; interior purple. Season later than Roeding No.1.Mammoni crop practically none.
