Cannone Dark. I said it last season and it holds true this season. This is a large, dense, thick, and large beefsteak type of fig. It is very good but neither sweet, figgy, berry, nor honey. It has a squat round shape, open cavity, and an eye that is sealed with honey.

Love the shot with the jax in it!  Looks like a yummy fig!

JD,
Thanks for the post and beautiful photo.   This looks to be a fig of potential but, being fairly new at this, I'm totally unfamiliar with the name.  Is this a readily available or common fig?  Do you know the origin?   Thanks....

Beefsteak, it's not just for tomatos any more! I love it.

Jack,
You can read about the origins of Cannone Dark and also the introduction of Pat Cannone who introduce the variety to the forum.

Looks good thanks for posting
