Jade Fig

Jade is a variety originating from the Algarve region of Portugal, discovered as a seedling growing at Aurora's garden. This variety was shared with others who then shared it with us. I heard recently that Aurora has passed away and we are grateful to have the opportunity to grow this fig. It is not know if this is a common type fig or if it requires caprification.

The fruit came from a branch grafted onto one of our Panache trees to help speed up our ability to evaluate this fig. This fruit was medium in size, very sweet, and with a delicious berry flavor and, perhaps something such as a caramel flavor. The fruit was very jammy and syrupy. We look forward to having more fruits to try in the weeks ahead.
