Medium to large pear-shaped fruit, colured brown to dark purple when ripe. Flesh pink  / white and flavour sweet but milder than some of the others. A reliable cropper, vigorous and hardy tree. Fruits around January - February. Use for fresh fruit, drying and jam. Figs prefer dry hot summers but need water when fruiting. Prefer well drained but fertile soil. Full-sun. Self-Pollinating.

Note: figs dont enjoy being transplanted and will often die back. There is a chance that it will shoot from the root. If your fig isn't spouting, please be patient, keep watering it and hopefully it will shoot up from the roots.

Pollination Guide

  • Pollination is far simpler than most people think. Generally, unless self fertile simply get 2 or more different varieties in the same group (eg pears) to ensure adequate pollination. A more comprehensive explanation can be found in our Pollination Guide
