Fig – Conadria
Q: My mother and I need help identifying a fig. The fruit is different from any I have seen before.
They are somewhat larger and “rounder” than regular figs. They have a shorter “neck”, are smoother, and have conspicuous white speckles on the fruit.
Even after the figs are ripe they remain green in color. The fruit is very sweet and flavorful.

Look at the light-skinned figs on his website and let me know which one you think you have:

Followup:
Thank you for the website referral. It was most helpful. As best I can tell, I have a Conadria fig. The descriptions and picture appear to be right on. Now maybe I can find one for sale somewhere. If you’re looking to plant any figs, this would be a good one to consider.
