Description
Delicious medium-size purple-brown figs. Low-maintenance plant with attractive leaves, fruits fairly young. Can be grown outdoors if mulched deeply, but the reality is that our season is too short to get much production, unless you have a greenhouse. Some growers protect their outdoor figs in winter with wood framed structures clad in plastic. Produces many more figs if overwintered in a cool dark spot and brought out in early spring. Fruits over time, so you get a fig every few days, critters don’t seem to see it as food so production is all yours. Leaves smell odd so not a good house plant. Figs are ripe when soft and almost ready to crack. Fig plants are very decorative, put them on your patio
