Description
A1 133 is the mother tree in Albania. It was a large, spreading tree. Seeds were collected and propagated. Ten seedlings were grown and assigned as DFIC0164-1 through -10. Number 2 has apparently been lost.
Some of these varieties can be obtained from very avid fig collectors, but are extremely rare and may not be worthy of attention.
