The "Queen" of figs. One of best ripe eating figs in the world. Relativly small and does not hold up well to a lot of handling. Kids and Grandma will love this variety.
Some may say it's just a sugar fig. I disagree. The flavor is not bold or intense except for sweetness. Flavor nuances are there but mild. It's always reliable and productive. The only time it split was from rains coming out of a hurricane.
