Tony Stevens' Fig Collection
Tony Stevens undertook a project in Association with the SA Rare Fruit Society which seeks to establish a register of varieties true to name and with good descriptions as they grow in Australia. He has a large number of un-named varieties as well as those below. He has some notes below the plant list which talk about the status of the various varieties in his collection.
