Description

Skin: Thin, burgundy-red.
Pulp: Deep red interior with a juicy, gelatinous texture.
Flavor: Complex berry notes with a light seed crunch; sweet but not overly so.

Growth and Adaptability:

This fig has been successfully cultivated in regions like Tennessee, where it has produced mature fruit, suggesting it is a common type that doesn't require pollination.

The Fig Hunter:

Corazon de la Bahia is an absolutely beautiful fig, discovered during one of our trips to the Bay Area and nurtured by a select few. Now available to the public, this rare natural-hybrid fig has thrived in Tennessee, producing maturing fruit. Known for its attractive thin burgundy-red skin and deeply luscious red interior, this fig offers a juicy and gel-like texture that promises a delectable experience.
