Light Figs
This interesting fig may prove to be very valuable to those wishing to pollinate their figs and enjoy tasty figs all in one season. Adam Apricot has a productive early breba crop of in-edible violet- colored male figs filled with pollen and wasps. The edible summer crop is a green yellow fig with an interior color ranging from pink to golden. The flesh of the almost fully ripe edible figs taste of honeydew melon. The riper figs taste of unmistakable apricot.The edible summer crop is very prolific. It appears that the edible crop has few seeds with some fruits containing zero seeds. It is likely that this is what we call a persistent capri fig. Offspring of persistent caprifigs will be more likely common, making it a very valuable resource for breeding experiments as well as tasty edible summer figs that have an apricot jelly like texture and taste. Please note that the edible main crop may require caprification or wasps to ripen. We dont know enough yet.
3 Strawberry Sorbet Scions/Cuttings
Strawberry Sorbet
This is an exciting new release by Sacred Origin. This is a unique seedling that tastes of rich fresh sweet strawberry, not the watery ones.The color and flavors are super rich.Common, no fig wasp required.The super ripe figs have a hint of cinnamon. The eye is sealed by a red drop of rich strawberry nectar.This fig is in top 5 best tasting figs we have ever had.
No cuttings avail till July/august 2022. Message to get on wish list.
This fig was found by California Fig Hunter Eric Durtschi. Buttery brown sugar and maple syrup.
A very unique tasting fig that tends to drip honey when picked.
Common and does not require the fig wasp.
This is a unique seedling found in a culvert ditch on the side of a road in the Olive Capital of Northern California.What comes to mind immediately when tasting this gem is the little pies I used to get as a kid that had a frosting glazed over it. This is another top notch fig that I could brag on about for days. I am in awe at how rich and satisfying this fig is. You will want this fig in your collection! The skin is delicious and edible on this variety and you will want to eat it. This tree appears to be very productive some nodes had two rather large figs. The eye on most of the ripe figs appeared slightly open but with a drop of blood red honey closing it up. I did not come across any rotten or molded ones. I imagine this fig is going to hold up well in the rain and be resistant to splitting. The figs started to ripen mid season. "Cherry Pie" dehydrates on the tree without fermenting. The mother tree does not receive irrigation or water and I imagine these somewhat large figs become even bigger with watering.You will not be disappointed with this fig and it will likely be one of the top best tasting figs you will ever experience. Note for picts: The orange colored fig pictured with the "cherry pie" is the very productive and delicious apricot and banana flavored LiVolsi fig
Tropical Goldenberry is a green/yellow unique seedling found near amrita and guavaberry. Tropical Goldenberry features a ruby red and pink inner flesh. The eye/ostiole is tight and closed. One tester shared this: "Tropical fruity...at times I detected a slight pineapple zing..there was some sort of acidity....but it was hard to put my finger on a single fruit flavor...it was like a blend...delicious...chewy skin."The plate of decorative fruits, herbs and flowers also has the dark fig " black dawn" on there.This tree was discovered by Sacred Origin in 2019 but we have not been able to confirm yet if it is common. I believe it will be as there were many late figs with pure jelly and no viable seeds but it has NOT been officially tested. All the wasps probably had already entered earlier fruit. Only time will tell.
3 Kiwi fig Scions/Cuttings
Sacred Origin's Kiwi fig is a unique seedling found in Northern California in a ditch. Kiwi is a delightful mixed color fig that showcases a violet green and yellow exterior with a red inner flesh that tastes of perfectly ripe sweet kiwi. A mix of green and golden kiwi flavors that are sure to excite your taste buds with that kiwi and pineapple citric tang. The eyes are closed. The skin is slightly chewy. This fig does not require the fig wasp for pollination. The mother tree is ancient.

Creme di Fragola (strawberry cream)
Creme di Fragola are large green figs with a jammy bright blood red interior. Strawberry and rhubarb pie flavors. Dries well on the tree. As fig ripens and starts to dehydrate you can taste background notes of cinnamon, bergamont and perilla. Complex and concentrated strawberry flavor with a slight tart rhubarb notes reminiscent of strawberry rhubarb pie with a cream topping. This is one of the best tasting figs Iv'e ever had in all of my fig finding experiences thus far. If I could only grow one fig this would be it. This is a very obvious seedling as its growing between olive trees in a very old olive orchard of the olive capital of Northern California. Chewy thick skin that you will want to eat even if you don't normally eat skins. The eye is tight, no sign of bugs, rot or mold in any of the figs I picked.Tree is productive and I imagine if the tree was watered, the figs would be giant. I typically find larger figs to be diluted in flavor which is not the case with Crema di Fragola. Due to the thicker skin and tight eye, I would predict this fig does well in rainy climates without splitting.Delicious must have fig.My three year old typically only eats the inside of the figs and hands me the skin, with creme di fragola she shoves an entire half of the fig into her mouth and eats the skin on these. Common Fig that does not require pollination. I am not sure yet if it has a breba or just main crop.

Sacred Origin's Danny Boy
Danny Boy is a new release by Sacred Origin. Not much is known about this capri fig at this time, but it shows some interesting qualities that may be of interest to breeders. Danny Boy is very prolific, creating figs on ever single node from the top to sometimes down to the bottom near the soil line. This fig becomes buzzing with tiny fig wasps and produces 3 reliable fig crops each year. The main crop is green with a slight purple blush and light colored interior.
Danny Boy produces an abundant Mamme crop ( green ) with an even more productive profichi crop in June- July.
Come time, millions and billions of tiny fig wasps will emerge from the mamme fig and enter the profichi.
By definition, a Mamme is a main crop fig which forms too late to ripen in the Fall and instead stays on and ripens in the Spring.
The profichi crop resemble edible figs, except they are filled with wasps and pollen-bearing stamens. This tree gets covered with wasps. This is an ancient tree.
****Caprifigs of Ficus carica produce three crops of syconia per year: the profichi which ripen in early summer; the mammoni which ripen in fall; and the mamme which overwinter on the tree and ripen in spring. The pollen-bearing profichi crop is used to pollinate the Calimyrna figs in June. The overwintering mamme crop house wasps through the cold winter months and are quite visible on the leafless branches. Female trees produce only two crops of syconia annually, a breba crop which ripens in early summer and a second (main) crop which ripens in fall. During the receptive (immature) summer stage, this second crop receives pollen from the mature caprifig profichi crop. Although caprifig syconia incubate and perpetuate the tiny fig wasp, seeds may also develop in the short-style flowers. This is especially true of mammoni syconia in which pollination (from profichi crop) results in some ovaries (without wasps) developing seeds with viable embryos."
