S. Carolina lemon fig

15 years ago

Is S. Carolina lemon fig same as Italian honey fig? We just bought this tree with this name and it said that it is greenish yellow with strawberry pulb when it's ripened. Fruit is kinda roundish not pear shape like BT. If anyone knows about this tree what is your experience with it? Please let me know. Thanks.

I thought it was the same as Conadria. Where did you buy the tree?

kumquatlady,

The Marseilles fig is sometimes called a Lemon fig in the south. Is is a medium sized yellow fig with white pulp. There are Yellow Marseilles and White Marseilles to add to the naming confusion. If you are fortunate, your fig will have VERY large seeds that will give your figs a pronounced and delicious "nutty" flavor. I love my Yellow Marseilles figs.

Dennis,

Conadria is an entirely different cultivar. Conadria is an Adriatic hybrid fig bred by Ira Condit in California.
