Description
Also known as Raoul Island. A large pyriform fig with yellow-to-purple-striped skin and red flesh. Bears both a breba and main crop, though the main crop is too late for the southern North Island. The breba crop can be unreliable in southern areas but performs well around Auckland, where individual fruit can be very large.
