Marius, thanks for posting. I think I have this variety from you and have tasted my first few figs off it this year. They were excellent. Is the pulp sometimes a pinkish-amber? Or maybe it appeared that way when the tree was younger and became more red with maturity? __________________ Steve MD zone 7a
