About Kadota
Kadota bears large greenish-yellow figs with amber flesh and a mild, honeyed flavor. It is an old white-fig type commonly used fresh, dried, and for preserves.
Growing Kadota Fig
Kadota is self-fruitful and needs warmth for its fruit to mature well. Its open eye makes ripe fruit more vulnerable to spoilage in humid or rainy weather, so pick promptly once it softens.
