San Biagio Fig

San Biagio originates from Italy's Pomona Gardens and remains genuinely rare, both in Italy and in the United States. Growers who have trialed it describe an unusually distinct flavor for a fig — a berry character carrying real citrus-like acidity, described by more than one collector as hard to compare to other varieties. It is a small, round fig, green-yellow skin with deep red pulp, among the earliest varieties to ripen in its growers' collections, though the tree itself is reported to be a genuinely slow grower even once established in the ground.
