　イチジク新品種‘H156-70’は，福岡県農業総合試験場豊前分場において，単為結果性を持つ高品質な普通型品種の育成を目標に，2000年に本県育成系統‘H180-156’を種子親に，‘M106-238’を花粉親にして交配した組合せから育成した。　

　樹姿は開張と直立の中間で，樹勢は中である。新梢の発生数が多く‘桝井ドーフィン’と同様に一文字整枝に仕立てることができる。葉の大きさは‘桝井ドーフィン’や‘蓬?柿’より小さく，裂片数は５～７である。

　果実の結実は良好で，夏果および秋果ともに単為結果するが，夏果の着生数は少ない。果実は卵形，平均１果重は約80gと‘蓬?柿’並みである。果皮は赤紫色，着色は‘桝井ドーフィン’並みで‘蓬?柿’より良好である。雌花は紅色で花托は厚いが，肉質緻密で果汁が多く，糖度が高く，品質は極めて良好である。裂果性は少なく，日持ちは‘桝井ドーフィン’並みである。収穫は８月中旬から開始でき，‘蓬?柿’とほぼ同時期で，収量は‘蓬?柿’と同程度である。

　‘H156-70' is a new common type fig cultivar that bears high quality fruit by parthenocarpy. It was selected from a progeny of ‘H180-156' and ‘M106-238'.

　Tree performance, tree vigor and density of shoots are medium. The straight line training method can be applied as in ‘MASUI DAUPHINE' trees. The leaf size is smaller than those of both ‘MASUI DAUPHINE' and ‘HOURAISHI'. The number of lobes is from 5 to7.

　‘H156-70' parthenocarpically produces a few first crops and numerous second crops. The fruit shape is ovate, the average of fruit weight is 83g and almost equal to that of ‘HOURAISHI'. The skin color is red purple and the coloring proportion of the skin is higher than that of‘HOURAISHI'. The color of the pistil is red, and the fruit receptacle is thick. The fruit quality is excellent because the flesh has a fine texture and is both sweet and juicy. Fruit cracking occurs in a small proportion and the keeping quality of the second crop is medium. The harvesting season of the second crops begins in the middle of August, which is almost equal to that of ‘HOURAISHI'.The yield isthe sameas that of‘HOURAISHI'.
