Flesh: Amber to pale strawberry-colored, very sweet and honey-like (hence the name).
Flavor: Rich, sugary, with a mild floral note. Considered one of the sweetest fig varieties.

Growth Habits
Tree Size: Typically grows 10–20 feet tall if left unpruned, but can be kept smaller with pruning.
Hardiness: Best suited for USDA Zones 7–10. Can tolerate cooler climates with winter protection.
Production: Very productive, often producing a breba crop (early summer) and a main crop (late summer into fall).
