A sugar fig with some complexity of flavor if well ripened. Unfortunately my tree has set very few fruit. It has been suggested that I try increasing watering and fertilizing to boost production, and will try that next year.
IC roots great. Grows strong. Produces good sized closed eye sugar fruit all season long. The first fig you should buy put in ground or pot and only one if you only have one spot. Best overall fig in my opinion for the average person.
Excellent variety to add, specially for the South, with hot and humid climates.
Early season (as you can see from my pictures) they look red and the eye, pretty much closed. Mid-season, skin color is more of a caramel color with appealing ribbing showing thru but eye is a little open then.
Handles rain pretty well, considering that in South Florida, rains are brutal. It is a sugar fig that I highly recommend.
