Description
Very sweet fig, hence its name. Early, small, pear shaped, red brown colour on one end with pale flesh. Allow 4-8m (depends on pruning).
This fig was used in the north as a sweetener, i.e was dried/ bottled and then added to other dishes.
Was given to Koanga by Logan Forrest of Pouto.
An early Fig from the McLeod homestead on the Kaipara at Pouto. It is not as early as our Hyndemans and Black but it is next (March). A reliable, very sweet cropper, it is larger than the earlier ripening figs Black and Hyndemans, and a particularly good one.
