Deanna Fig
✓ VerifiedUnited States (collector-circulated)
Deanna comes from Ira Condit's own fig breeding program — the same researcher and taxonomist behind the standard reference monograph on fig varieties. Fig grower Ray Givan, a well-regarded collector, documented acquiring his own Deanna in 1997 and noted growers in North Carolina have described its flavor as outstanding. The fruit is medium to large, golden yellow, with strawberry-colored pulp.
