This is a fig that originated in syria, known as Sefrawi or Sfirey. It has been growing in my area for many years. tree hasn't been protected and it still made figs on current year growth. These figs have stunning light yellow skin. You can see green fig changing to yellow as they ripen. It has a nice jammy flavor, it's very delicious. It has the drop of honey as it ripens. I've been waiting to get this variety for years, one day I'll write down the store of how I finally found it. __________________ Pennsylvania http://www.treesofjoy.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trees-of-Joy/110193909021138

They are very pretty. __________________ Wish list: Galicia Negra, Violetta, Violette de Sollies, Dan_la's Black Beauty 10, Craven's Craving, Most important: YOUR FAVORITE FIG. A lot of people put emphasis on popular/exotic cultivars, which is great because it highlights some of the better fig varieties; however, I am most interested in the figs our members love regardless of pedigree. Currently Growing: a bunch of varieties.

Nice fig! I love the soft yellow with the amber to red color in side. You said it had been growing for many years, is it a slow grower then? Or do you think it was because it was unprotected? __________________ Becky, zone 5 Growing: Hardy Chicago, VdB, Dessert King, Celeste, Green Ischia, Marseilles VS, Kathleen's Black, Red Sicilian, Adriatic JH, Violetta bayerfeinge, New Brunswick, Magnolia and Italian Honey.

Or do you think it was because it was unprotected? it seems to be a vigorous grower, had a lot of figs on current year growth that sprouted from the ground. __________________ Pennsylvania http://www.treesofjoy.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trees-of-Joy/110193909021138

Yes Bass, what's the story? Both the cuttings you sent me rooted and are thriving in a one gallon size pot, but need a great story to go with a (hopefully) great fig. __________________ Mara Southern California Zone 1990= 9b 2012= 10a 2020=?
