Sarizeybek (rooted)

Sarizeybek is a rare Turkish variety known for its large, golden-yellow fruit and intensely sweet, jam-like amber flesh. It’s a standout for flavor—rich, honeyed, with a hint of tropical fruit—and performs well in dry, warm climates. The skin is thin but not prone to splitting, and the fruit has a small, tight eye that helps resist souring. It typically produces a single, heavy main crop. This fig is gaining attention among collectors for both its taste and appearance.
