A fairly new Japanese Variety. A Very Vigorous producer once establish.

Wow, seems to be very productive.
Would be very interesting to know more about new japanese varieties, i tried to do some resarch but is difficult to insert the right keywords to find japanese articles, and the translation feel sorry and i don't understand anything.
How many varieties have been released by japanese? Who are the parents?
I'm interested in hybridization ( i don't think of getting exceptional stuff, but playing with hybrids is funny).

A friend got me 3 Kuruma varieties. They can only be sold in Japan with a photo tag as these are suppose to be patent. Thats all I know.

Is it this site?

Yes... my bad... Kurume... lol

The developement of new varieties can be very helpful for the growers that live in areas with a different than the usual climate.
I guess that there are problems in tropical areas, maybe many of the best cultivars for mediterranean and temperate climates dont produce well in the tropics, right?

Looking at the plant nodes, it is a well nutured plant. Well done. If it is an aggressive grower, you can graft Negronne/VdB to
some of its branches. Put the fun in growing figs to the next level by experiment. I understand Negronne does well in your zone. 

LSU, and UCDavis, cross pollination of other figs (for example Condit) does that here in USA already--Hybridization. looks tropical in your area too and if that's an updated photo... and its January (cold). But of course any plant can adapt.
 
If you live here in USA there are many varieties here that exist that have vigorous growth and amazing producers. I think you found a great fig for YOUR CLIMATE. Who care if it is Japanese, Turkish, Mediterranean, USA etc.... as long as it works for your backyard.

Very nice looking fig, thanks for sharing. I will have to research the Japanese fig breeding programs.

I think I live in one of the worst places to grow figs, but they still grow faster and produce more fruit than any tropical fruit tree.

My 1st fig that I got was a 6 inch tall brown turkey fig from my grandma. In 12 months in ground with just grass clippings mulch, it had grown into a 8ft tall x10ft wide bush and produced 700 ripe figs, by the end of the 2nd year it was 10ftx20ft and produced a total of 2,200 ripe figs.

I think breeding new fig varieties just for tropical growers could be very interesting. It would be great to get new fig varieties that are better adapted to ripening in the rainy season, without losing their flavor. Maybe also figs that are invisible to fruit flies. :) I have not had a single fig eaten by a bird here, the Hawaiian hawks kill them all.

I think one of the perks of growing figs in the tropics is that they fruit year round and don't go dormant.

My friend from Japan said the only Figs he remember eating were the Kurumas, apparently they are very popular there, like a Celeste here or so.
