The Fruits of the Kymi fig tree
The uniformity of the fruits is great, with the fruits having a globular, opioid shape and a conical apex.
The fruit are very large in diameter and long, with a very large ostiole and weight 44 - 123 g. The length of the neck of the fruits ranges from 10 to 17 mm while the pedicel, which is short and thick, starts from 2 to 5 mm and is easily cut from the stem.
The color of the peel is light green with a few yellow streaks and is easily separated from the flesh. Wrist fissures have the appearance of split skin and are highly resistant in the ostiole region.
