Description
Atreano brings size, sweetness, and a generous breba together in one handsome green fig. Let the fruit yellow slightly on the tree and the amber to light pink flesh becomes sweeter and fuller.
Its compact growth and container performance make it practical where space is limited. Dry weather near ripening gives the cleanest texture and most concentrated flavour.
Overview
- Green fruit with amber to light pink flesh
- Sweet skin and a refreshing honey-strawberry interior
- Carries both breba and main crops
