This fig is also known as Golden Riverside. I wasn't very impressed with it's flavor the first year I had fruit from my small tree last year but it's a large good-looking fig.

This may also be known as Deanna.

Very much a hot climate only variety--at its best, a sophisticated and nuanced mild taste.
