Description
The most consistently heavy breba-cropping fig in New Zealand trial collections. Medium-sized pyriform fruit with green-yellow skin and sweet honeyed amber flesh. Breba crop only — no main crop. Tight ostiole. Citrus-honey flavour, very sweet. Ripens reliably in Wellington hill suburbs. The breba crop may show greater frost tolerance than other varieties. Too soft to transport well.
