This is unknown fig from Valencia. I do not know this area having wasp or not. But this one is very tasty and fragrance. Purple green skin and red inside.

There's no arguing that's a beautiful looking fig! Where are you?

This is a very nice fig. It must be a Common... Understand practically all figs in Spain are Persistent varieties as they discontinued cultivation of the Smyrna types long time ago, exception made, at least to some regional varieties grown in the high plateaux (above 3,000') in the Malaga region- Sierra de Contraviesa- as our fellow member Jaime informed us recently. The conspicuously abundant seeds shown on the cutaway may suggest a Caducous type (?).

This fig is from Valencia. The fruits are ripening on this August.
I hope I would share cuttings to difference region.

Pino, Yes, you right! It's synonym to Common... it persists ripening on its stalk without the need of pollination. Sorry for this expensive' wording !!
