Desert King

This fig gained modern relevance in California around the 1930's but again, may have originated in Italy much earlier than that! 
 
This is a delightful yellow/green fig when ripe and has a delicate honey flavour unmatched in other cool climate adapted figs. 
 
The breba crop (the first crop) ripens reliably outside on the west coast in early to mid August. 
 
The fruit will go from feeling light and foamy to feeling heavy, soft and squishy, and droop downwards when it's ripe.
