A small tree with sparse foliage. It crops well in most situations and is reasonably resistant to splitting. Fruit is medium to large and pear shaped, with prominent deeply coloured ribs and a large, open eye. The skin is purplish brown and lighter at the stem end. The flesh is pinkish brown with an excellent sweet, rich flavour. One of the toughest fig varieties, the rich flavoured fruit is perfect for eating fresh, drying or preserving in jam. Often bears two crops in a year, with the second extending well into autumn
