California Brown Turkey aka CA Brown Turkey
There are many strains of Brown Turkey Figs, California comes from CA. Some have mentioned this may be Japan's famous Masui Dauphine. I don't grow a Masui Dauphine so I can't compare.
This strain of BT is much larger and of better quality than the BT my local markets sold. Not all BT is the same. They have similar characteristics which they have the same name for reference. But it can be confusing at times. Hopefully, I can do a side by side comparison of these BT types figs.
notes:
much bigger size than market
little seedy
I could have waited a couple of more days to have the best taste.
It is different than PNW popular Vern's Brown Turkey aka VBT is medium in size and not as meaty texture.
Mildly sweet, my Black Jack Fig was sweeter in comparison
