Description

Bluemalibu on 4-2-2020:

Our summers in Northern California are extremely dry. We routinely go five or six months without rain after April each year. Therefore, a reliable moisture source is mandatory to insure the survival of our wild figs. Midway between Thermalito and Chico, California, resides the Battson Creek mother-tree, alongside its life-source... It is an early ripening variety, with fruit that has a very pleasant berry/mixed fruit-c*cktail flavor. It has not yet been determined whether or not it is common.
