Highly prized and sought after vareity. This fig originated from a tree grown by a member of the California Rare Fruit Growers Association living in Rainbow, California. Its flavor is a complex blend of strawberry and kiwi. This prolific growing fig produces large sized fruit which start ripening in September. The fruit starts out bright green, turns a golden yellow and finally ripening at a light purple color. Its pulp is a rich honey amber color. Originally referred to as Ben’s Golden Riverside, the name was changed to Golden Rainbow to avoid confusing it with another variety called Golden Riverside from UCD. This is a common fig needing no wasp.
