Description
Each order of seeds contains at least 10 seeds.
The male parent is UCR 271-1, which is a persistent green to yellow colored fig.
The female parent is LaRadek Brown Turkey, which is an English Brown Turkey variant grown first in Eastern Europe where it reportedly withstood a -18 F winter little die back and a -23F winter with moderate die back (but still fruited). Most years it produces a breba crop in zone 5b. The fruit is medium-sized and sweet with a good flavor.

All fig seedlings are unique and may or may not inherit the traits of their parents. These controlled crosses give you the best chance of producing high quality new varieties, but do not guarantee it. See our article on growing fig seeds for more information. To learn more about the controlled cross process see our article on hand pollination.
