Large yellow figs ripen the end of July on previous seasons growth. Very productive and early ripening. Produces an early main crop of short neck delicately sweet fruit. The plant slows it's growth into the fall and "hardens off" well. There is usually no young wood die back the following spring. Usually starts ripening a few weeks before Hardy Chicago and ends its production before Hardy Chicago does. Space 8'-10' circle, Zone 6 - 9. Also called Oregon Prolific and St. Anthony Fig.
