This is a Jordanian fig. I'm still trying to figure out what the local name is.
It ripened today in my greenhouse. I thought it would be tasteless, but to my surprise the flavor was excellent. It reminded me of a sweet cantaloupe a little but with a smooth flavor.

It first I thought it was a green fig, but a couple days before it ripened it turned dark. It should get darker in the hot sun. The inside is yellow with a bit of amber in the center. I was informed that it is very productive and size is above average. I'm hoping it will be a good variety for the northeast.

Bass your a lucky guy that fig looks lovely, love the interior and exterior clours. Thanks for posting

Bass,

Congratulations on another great find! That fig looks very juicy and almost seedless and the color of the interior is spectacular.

Your hard work and dedication is shown and is greatly appreciated and I always look forward to reading your posts. You go above and beyond the call.

I think it's time we name a fig in your name.

I can only imagine how tasty it would have been in its native land.
I'm sure it would even taste a lot better if its hot and sunny.
What's amazing that I got the cuttings just a year ago and they grew into a 5 ft. tree and set ripe figs.

Way to go Bass !
Getting ripe figs in a greenhouse in a cold area of the country in January .
I tell you its sure nice to look at ripe figs this time of year im really bummed not being able to water and look at my figs but one day that will change.
Thanks for posting the pictures.
Best Health

Bass, sign me up for cuttings! Wow! I would love to trail that tree in our hot desert summers! Great pics!

Amazing Bass, i thought you put them all to sleep in your garage.

Bass, I'm standing in line right behind Jose if you have cuttings for me to  beg, borrow, steal, or buy. That is a luscious looking figs. The interior looks like jelly and the color is spectacular. I wonder what a long hot humid summer would do to such a fig. I'm in agreement with Rafed, a fig named in honor of Bass sounds great. You produce such great pictures of figs that I could go insane looking at them. You do the board a great service with your knowledge that you share freely. Thanks

Congrats Bass for another good find. Very,very appetizing. Amazing interior colors.

My second ripe fig of the season.

Bass, awesome as usual.

My family is going to Jordan again this summer and I will see if my brother can attain this type.  As you know, I already have a couple varieties from Jordan ("Jordanian Black", "Jordanian Honey"), but no fruit yet so I cant compare.  I couldn't get the "Jordanian Large Early" to catch.

Ive mentioned before, the culture of figs in the Middle East runs deep and the above is just another example.  I'm working hard to add to the work Bass has already done helping expose North America to the many varieties that exist there.

Wonderful!

thanks Bass

Nas,
This variety is similar to the Palestinian Khurtmani fig. However some Jordanian mentioned that is very similar to the variety known as Zraqi in Jordan. I researched both varieties and they're both different in interior color. I'm waiting to see this fig ripening naturally in summer before I can identify it.

If you ever get these varieties from Jordan send me the cuttings and I'll root them for you... I'll just have to keep one for myself.

no doubt that figs were domesticated in Jordan for thousands of years.
Here's a good article on discovery that shows figs was the first domesticated fruit. http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/312/5778/1372
