Excel Fig
✓ VerifiedCalifornia, USA (mid-20th century)
I was not able to find documented origin history for Excel Fig — no confirmed breeder, release date, or discovery account through available research, despite it appearing in grower references as a yellow-green-skinned fig with sweet, honeyed flesh. If you have a source for this variety's background, it can be corrected with real information.
