Izmir is a Smyrna-type fig of Turkey origin. Skin is dark amber/red and eye is open. Flavor profile: rich sweet. Grower notes: Smyrna-type classic from Izmir. Smyrna-type figs require pollination by the fig wasp (caprification) with pollen from a caprifig to develop and mature fruit; without it the immature figs drop.
