Description
Condit Monograph
Jerusalem (syns. Figue Goutte, Gerusalem). Described by Audibert Freres (1854), Duchartre (1857), Ounous (1863), Hogg (1866), G. S. (1869), La Brousse (1774), Soc. Pomol. DE France (1887, 1947), Eisen (1888, 1901), Starnes and Monroe (1907, with illustration), and Delbard (1947). Audibert Freres in 1854 reported, ''les fruits avortent presque tous.'' This statement regarding the Jerusalem fig in France holds also for its behavior at Riverside, California; for here, too, it drops its fruit badly. Hogg also remarked that the tree is a very poor bearer. The main disagreement in the above descriptions concerns fruit color, which Hogg and Eisen give as Black , while Audibert Freres and La Brousse term the color brown. On the other hand, Societe' Pomologique DE France and Delbard give the skin color as light or yellowish.
Jerusalem was introduced into California with the Chiswick collection as P.I. No. 18,862, and has fruited in various plots. In Georgia the tree was productive, with fruit quality fair to good; color was described as ''yellow, with dirty, brownish- Black blotches.'' The following description is from fruits produced at Fresno and Riverside since 1926.
Tree rather dense, spreading, with outer branches drooping; terminal buds green. Leaves medium, glossy above, mostly 5-lobed; upper sinuses of medium depth and width; base subcordate to truncate; lower lobes often Auricled ; margins crenate. Susceptible to mosaic injury. (Plate 13.)
Breba crop none. Main crop drops badly unless Caprification is practiced; figs medium, up to 1-7/8 inches in diameter and 1-1/2 inches in length, oblate spherical, mostly without neck; average weight 39 grams; stalk short and thick; ribs fairly prominent; eye medium to large, open, with violet scales; white flecks scattered, rather conspicuous; surface dull, with light bloom; color green, shaded with brown or violet; meat white, sometimes tinged with violet; pulp strawberry.
Caprified specimens darker-colored on outside and of a deeper strawberry inside than when uncaprified; quality good to very good; skin color unattractive.
A variety of no particular value.
