Yesilkiz Fig
✓ VerifiedAlso known as: Green Girl
Turkey (traditional)
I was not able to find documented origin history for Yesilkiz through available research beyond its Turkish name, which translates roughly to "green girl," referencing skin color. If you have a source for this variety's background, it can be corrected with real information.
