The Yellow Long Neck fig yields huge- almost tennis ball sized bright yellow fruit with a long neck. 100 grams is not unusual for this fig, with a maximum weight of 174 grams being reported by some.
Because of its thin skin and honey-sweet flavor, Yellow Long Neck is considered by many connoisseurs to be among the best figs you will find. Breba crop ripens mid-season. This cultivar does produce a breba, typically in the mid-season. It is a fairly late ripener but appears to be, by all accounts, a very cold-hardy tree.
The leaves of the tree itself tend to be broad-fingered with serrated edges.
Cuttings will have a length between 6-10 inches long and contain a minimum of 3 nodes. Thickness will be a minimum of pencil thick. Cuttings will be fully lignified unless otherwise stated.
