I found this variety along a sidewalk in Brooklyn, New York. At the time the tree was dormant, it was a cold February day. I took a cutting from the tree driven by curiosity. This tree was completely unprotected, it looked old, with thick branches that appear to have not been pruned in many years. I only took a cutting from the plant and rolled the diced. To my surprise, the cutting rooted vigorously. The plant is now many years old, it continuous to display vigorous growth. The production is above normal. The figs are large, green in color with an amber interior. The taste is figgy, sweet with some light berry, and tropical tones. The pulp is soft and syrupy. The eye in this fig is wide, which can affect the quality on humid weather. I did not notice splitting in this variety; however, the open eye can absorb water and dilute the flavor and sweetness. Figs ripen mid-August all the way to early October.
This variety appears to be unique of its own, there are some similarities to other cultivars we own but they are only in appearance and not taste. This cultivar will probably perform best on dry regions, but it is clearly cold hard and can tolerate humid weather even at the detriment of flavor intensity.
