Click here for Fig Care Guide Conadria Fig (Ficus carica) The Conadria fig is known for being the largest yellow fig variety, boasting high sugar content. Some fruits are so large that they can fit snugly in a teacup. This fig can be enjoyed both fresh and dried. Introduced in 1955 by Ira Condit of USDA Riverside, CA, it is highly resistant to spoilage during rainy weather due to its small eye, which also makes it less prone to insect damage. Conadria produces two crops: First crop (Breba crop): Good quality. Second crop: Very good quality. In Zone 7, it only produces a single crop. The Conadria fig can be grown in a 10-gallon pot, stored over winter (with temperatures not falling below 30°F), and then planted in the ground, where it will root through the pot and yield large, excellent figs by summer. This method has been successfully used by hobbyists, such as one in Smyrna, Delaware. This fig is a vigorous, precocious plant, widely planted in California’s San Joaquin Valley. For optimal growth: In Zone 5-7, it can be grown in pots. In Zone 8-9, space the plant in a 15-foot circle, and in Virginia, allow a 10-foot circle. Conadria figs are sometimes mistakenly referred to as "Galbun."
