Neverella/Osborne Prolific has brown skin with an opalescent flesh. It is delicious eaten fresh, canned, or preserved. This medium sized fig is another great option for container gardening and can even handle some shade.
 
Reference books (Condit) contain the following information:
 
Two or three decades ago, the Edward H. Rust Nurseries, Pasadena, California, obtained some fig cuttings from a tree peddler who said that the variety was originally from England. The nursery propagated the material, and eventually distributed it under the name Osborn Prolific. Trees have been located in a few dooryards at Arcadia, San Gabriel, and Pasadena, and scions have fruited at Riverside since 1950. 
 
Brebas are seldom produced. The main crop, however, ripens over a long season, and is highly regarded for fresh-fruit consumption.
