Enjoyed watching the video. 

Questions: Is this variety sold commercially, by a retailer?  If yes, who sells it?

Thanks,
Frank

Not that I know of. I purchased this from a grower in Santa Cruz, CA. He has only this variety and has been growing it for years. I think Harvey may have it as well.

OK.  Thanks for the quick answer.  Hope the fig is as good as it looks, and, for years to come.

Good luck.

Yes, I grow it also.  Mine don't darken like that here.

Looks like a nice fig but I don't believe that is  Golden Riverside 278-128. At least not what I have from USDA UC Davis that matches what Harvey posted in both fruit and leaf. color can vary but I have not seen a hint of color other than green/gold on exterior. The leaf in video looks pretty different as well, and I know leaves show considerable variation.  Just my 2 cents
