A green to yellow skinned medium to large sized fig with red pulp and excellent flavour. When tree ripened this fig is unsurpassed with its rich strawberry flesh. Peels very easily when ripe.

The green fig 'White Genoa' prompts some folk to think it never ripens, but it has lovely reddish-pink flesh that the starlings enjoy long before most folk realise they are ripe.
Information from: Fruits & Nuts: Mediterranean Style by Malcolm Campbell
The White Genoa is a uniquely flavoured fig with sweet flesh. Good for eating, drying and jam.
