That is the name given to a variety of fig that i grow. I bought this cutting from Israel; the seller
bought this cutting from USA who in turn got it from an Italian immigrant who
settled in Brooklyn a long time ago. And
now its progeny made Malaysia its home. This is a white fig variety, medium eye,
big size and most importantly it is sweet and prolific. Due to climatic
difference this fig is not white but yellowish brown with red blush. Its fruit is beautiful
as well as flavourful, very much enjoyed by my 13 months old daughter.
