Brooklyn White
(BKLYN-W)
Brooklyn White is one of the largest figs that is early enough to ripen some of its figs here in Michigan without an early head start. The fruit is refreshing with a flavor of sweetened strawberries, to an intense strawberry flavor. I can't believe this variety is not more popular in the North since it gets such a different flavor compared to so many early figs. The tree was discovered growing in Brooklyn, New York and also goes by the name of Naples White. It can also produce some nice breba figs before the main crop. Here in Michigan, it will still have many more unripe figs on the tree at the end of the season leaving you wanting more.
