Maybe It Fig

[Reference entry - not a grower report] This post was auto-generated from public fig references to kick off the variety archive. It's not someone's actual growing experience, and the pics are just generic Wikimedia shots of Ficus carica, not this specific variety. If you've actually grown this and have corrections, we'd love to hear 'em. O'Rourke is an American fig variety that's pretty common in the US. The fruit's supposed to be medium-sized with dark purple or black skin when it's ripe. The flesh is usually red or dark red. People say it's got a sweet flavor and you can eat it fresh. It ripens mid to late season. There's not a ton of published info on this one, and it can get mixed up with other dark-skinned American figs. Fair warning though — the look and traits can shift a lot depending on your climate and how you grow it.
