We collected the Green Greek fig from a knowledgeable local member of the Fig Addiction group here in Seattle. From what I can tell the color is very different from anything that I can find online. So most of what I have to describe about this fig is through first hand experience.
Most of the other Green Greeks I found were of a very light green color. So like many other figs out there there could be several varieties out there with this name. It's a possibility that zone and climate may affect the color but the degree of difference that I can see is way too high compared to some other green greeks that I found online.
This is a relatively cold hardy fig that did not require that much protection here in Seattle. By that I meant that it was brought into the greenhouse for winter but I'm willing to bet that it will do well outdoors as well. It's a single crop and ripens through the month of September here in Seattle.
The taste is sharply sweet with very strong raspberry tones. It's definitely a keeper and would make a great addition to any collection.
