This fig was discover by Prof.Bostock here. It is a reliable variant and I have never
protected this variant in winter. Its main crop is productive and delicious.

@Pino -- I am glad I have a happy problem with many superb tasting variants. Its
really difficult to pinpoint which is the best as it varies from year to year depending
on the weather.

Looks nice.  The prof. found it in BC?  Was it growing wild or at someone's house?
