The "Dartmouth" fig
This beautiful Bifera tree which produces bronze, common type figs with dark pink interior is on a public property on Dartmouth street.
No one knows where it came from or who planted it, could be from seed. According to few tenants, it has been there for over 25 years and once in a while the city employees will trim the tree because it gets very top heavy. The tree looks like it has a very vigorous growth habit.
Although its under full sun entire day, the distance between nodes are 5-8 inches.
The Brebas are very juicy and the tree produces plenty of it. The main crop is much sweeter and more syrupy and with denser texture.
The leaves are very uniform, 5 lobed with long fingers, very rough to the tough.
Overall this is a delicious fig with satisfying sweetness and very pleasant floral/fruity aroma.
