Description
The Large White Greek fig, also known as Belleclare #46, is a notable variety introduced to the U.S. by the now-defunct Belleclare Nursery in Plainview, New York. This fig is prized for its substantial size, sweet flavor, and adaptability, making it a favorite among fig enthusiasts.
The Large White Greek fig produces sizable, pear-shaped fruits with a greenish-yellow to bronze skin. The interior boasts a pale rose to deep red pulp, offering a sweet and juicy flavor profile with berry undertones reminiscent of strawberry jam and peach. The figs have a closed Ostiole , reducing the risk of insect intrusion and spoilage. This fig tree is known for its vigorous growth and ornamental appeal. The leaves are large with well-defined lobes, contributing to the tree's aesthetic value. It is a common-type fig, meaning it is Self-Fertile and does not require pollination by fig wasps.
