Unknown Pastilliere

It is a Smyrna but if you live in the wasp land, this fig is a must.
Very vigorous and productive, tastes like a cherry with strawberry.

Igor,
Thank you for sharing photos of your beautiful figs.
Are your figs being caprified by the wasp in your area?
Quote

Leon,

Yes, all the figs are caprified. It is a natural process , I do not do anything to encourage this
