Descriptions:

A very large fig. Purplish-black, lighter or even green towards the stalk. Numerous white flecks. Pulp is light strawberry. Turbinate-pyriform, sometimes oblique with a broad apex. Eye medium, open. Leaf: base cordate; 5 lobes, middle lobe spatulate, side lobes latate. Flavor is sweet and rich. Needs heat to develop good flavor and adequate sugar. Very good to excellent fresh; poor when stewed as it breaks up. Well-adapted in the Southwest and South. (1)

Skin and flesh colors: Purple; strawberry. Grows well in most regions. More tolerant of cold than most fig varieties so recommended for marginal fig regions. This variety produces abundant crops of large figs at a young age.
