Description

This is the first year for fruiting this variety for me. This is a very pretty, solid fig, but the first two were pretty bland. However the next two picked two days later were much better, a very rich sugary caramel type of flavor. And they did not rot or spoil despite a lot of rain on the preceding two days (which caused rot to favorites like RdB, Florea, LdA and Socorro Black). Seems to have at least average productivity.
