Figs
Kesariani
Kesariani, Greece (near Athens)
Kesariani is documented among fig-collector accounts specifically as an incredibly productive variety with a long fruiting season and very good taste; it is included on multiple experienced collectors' shortlists of top varieties, though I was not able to independently verify a specific place-name or historical origin story for it beyond its likely reference to Kesariani, a district of Athens. Growers who have trialed it describe it favorably enough to include it among their most-watched new trees, and it appears repeatedly on collector-compiled "best fig" lists.
