Calimyrna is the most widely grown fig in California with nearly all of that used for dry figs. It's original name in Turkey was Sari Lop but was renamed after being introduced into California in 1882. Our tree has not grown very well but I attribute that probably due to soil conditions in the spot where it's planted. The fruit picked today was fairly large and a very sweet honey-type fig. It's high sugar content allows it to be dried without spoiling.
