Closed Eye Common & San Pedro List

From UC Davis. Not all inclusive. Capri and Smyrna types excluded. May include San Pedro type.
"-C-" = Closed eye. Some listed have early and main fruit where one or the other is open eye.

I searched this site but could not find a list like this.

Feel free to add more closed eye common or San Pedro to this list.
Let me know if there are any smyrna and/or capri still on this list.

Also included some other filters for body and pulp color with closed eye.

Wow, this is great!  Thank you for posting this list

Thanks! I just figured out how to use the "observations" section of the DFIC description. 

Found lots of varieties without any observations. Also found alternate names sometimes listed in the descriptions.

The four Roedings and Stanford are caprifigs, and Marabout is Smyrna.
This is a nice reference, I hope people add to this list.

Updated. Will update list as I get input.

very informative post Gofigure, appreciated how much time you put into this.

- a question, can closed eyed varieties get pollinated? Because the dark fig that I have in my profile , have been said by many, is a Pastilliere and it has been pollinated by wasps ... or...does closed eye mean it could have some opening but overall is safe for rains and bigger insects? (some input on this would be appreciated)
Thanks.

Pastilliere is one of those varieties observed as having both open and closed main fruit eyes. I also looked at several capri figs, and most of them indicated closed main fruit eyes with one indicating open and closed.

The size of the eye makes a difference, but UC Davis don't show that information. You may have noticed that Brown Turkey is not listed as having a closed eye yet it does fine in rain and humidity.

Pastilliere was observed as having only a main product versus an early and main, so I think it must be common versus San Pedro with a common product and a pollinated product.

Added those with closed eye and early breba as well as main fruit productivity.

Yes Pastiliere can have a semi closed or open eye seen observed both when was in yard.
Also it was observed not to be black.

Hardy Chicago here in yard has nice tight eye.
Negretta here in yard has nice tight eye.

I see now, my Pastilliere is not a tightly closed eye, yet , as it should be, is a Unifera. In LA, where wasps are almost everywhere, this variety gets pollinated and inside feels up with pulp and honey, also gets really dark purplish-red pulp with , of course, fertile seeds.

Here is a link to UCDs observation. Put your cursor over any terms in the left column to see the description of the acronym. http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/acc/obs.pl?1001541

There is a body pattern color (BODYPTCOL2) and a body ground color (BODYGRCOL2). I've listed body color based on body ground. For example, Alma was observed to have a green body ground and a yellow or grey body pattern.

I added a member observations column for small, tight eye and added that Pastilliere having a black body may be an error by UCD.

Out of 367 varieties, only about 120 have observations listed. I would expect all the LSU types are small, tight eyed but I have no experience with any of them. Please post your own observations and I will update the list.




Aaron this video will answer your question about fig wasp getting in tight eye.
When it came on TV is was a joy to watch and very clear picture on the TV screen.

Martin, I love this documentary... such an awesome work. I am definitely keeping this one. (along with the "This is how you eat a fig" ), haha.
Thanks for sharing.

BUMP

This is great stuff!

It is amazing how much information we really have at our fingertips
