Figs
Longwood Fig
✓ VerifiedUnited States (collector-circulated)
I was not able to find documented origin history for Longwood through available research beyond its likely reference to Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania, a well-known American public garden with documented fig-growing collections, though I could not confirm this specific connection. If you have a source for this variety's background, it can be corrected with real information.
