Smith is THE FIG for so many.  Originally believed to be a Croatian fig variety that made its way into France where the Becnel family grew it and then took it with them to the Southern US. From there they opened a fruit tree nursery and sold fig trees to homeowners all over the South making this a popular fig variety. Anyone who eats this fig variety will instantly fall in love with its truly exquisite and superb flavor and texture. In warm summers, this fig resembles a pastry in that the flesh is not like eating jam, but instead a "fig cake." It's a very fast grower that requires more sunlight than most fig varieties.  This particular tree of mine was purchased from MJ of MJS Figs.  Parthenocarpic.
