It is time in the season for the ripening of Izbat an Naj- the Egyptian light fig with banana-like flavor! I always look forward to the time when this variety ripens. I know of no other fig quite like it in terms of flavor profile. I remember being drawn to the so-called tropical banana flavor suggested by a veteran grower of this variety. I was skeptical, yet intrigued. Sure enough, what a surprise! It is in my top ten fig varieties for flavor!

Congratulations!

Looks good Bill!

Very cool. Wish I had that one...

I have a small Izbat an Naj, it has three small little figlets on it maybe a month away from ripening. I've been really looking forward to trying this one!

Wow Bill, love the looks of this one! Pretty fig! : )

Do you have leaf pictures?

Looks good!
