 FACTS:
Calimyrna (in Turkey, called Sari Lop or Lop Incir). Large: skin
light yellow-green to golden yellow; pulp amber to light strawberry; fresh
flavor good, very sweet; the standard of excellence for whole dried
figs. Best-known of Smyrna figs, which require caprification
(pollination by fig wasps, which live only in dry, inedible wild figs,
called capri-figs) to bear fruit. Grown in Meander (Menderes) Valley
of Turkey for centuries; introduced to California in 1880. First
successful crop in 1899. Accounts for 50% of the fresh fig crop and
38% of the dried. |
