    Feng Chan Huang is a chinese fig that is moderately productive. Large sweet figs appear throughout the growing season and ripen at various stages. The taste is similar to Brunswick, but with a lower percentage of souring. In fact I can't think of a time Feng Chan Huang has ever soured on me. Feng Chan Huang is definitely a fig worthy of a spot in the garden and can be used in preserves, in cooking, and for fresh eating.
