Origin: in Riverside, Calif., by Ira J. Condit, California Agr. Expt. Sta. Introd. in 1955. Adriatic × Calif. 72-80 (caprifig); selected in 1947; tested as Calif. 143-5. Tree: vigorous; precocious; produces two crops; breba crop good, second crop very good. Widely planted in San Joaquin Valley for production of dried figs and in dooryards for fresh fruit. Leaves mostly five-lobed, practically free from leaf mosaic. Fruit: flesh very firm; smaller eye, lighter dry color, and higher sugar content than Adriatic, which it resembles, also more resistant to fruit spoilage.
