Fig Inventory Listed by Barraclough as being grown at Burnley in 1896. Not listed in any other sources. Smyrna ( AKA Calimyrna in the USA, especially California ) Originally a traditional Greek type from the Meander valley near Ephesus/ Smyrna in what is now Turkey. Facciola says of Smyrna that it is a ‘class’ of fig not a specific cultivar. " Cultivars of this class set virtually no breda crop. The second crop develops on the current season’s growth and reaches full maturity only when the flowers are pollinated by the fig wasp and the ovules develop into fertile seeds adding a nutty flavour to the meat and pulp." Figs of this type are distinguished by the large eye in the base of the immature fruit. Fruit is yellow skinned with amber to light strawberry flesh. Offered by Goodmans Fruit Catalogue of 1911. Also listed by Ikin as being in the NSW , South Australia & Vic. state fruit collections in 1974. Spanish Dessert : Another variety that was in the SA collection at Loxton and was bulldozed in the 1990’s. Scion was rescued by SA Rare Fruits Association members and propagated. A late maturing spectacular variety with dark purple skin and dark red flesh. Fruits over a long season from March to May. Delicious tasting. Tena ( AKA : Teem, Col Di Signora Bianca ) Grown by the RHSV in the 1890’s at Burnley under the name ‘Col Di Signora Bianca’. A mid season variety with a good breba crop. The fruit is small to medium and oblate in shape; skin light greenish yellow and flesh amber to rose. Used fresh or dried.
