- Out-of-Stock
The fig that turns every head: figs striped yellow and green, with sweet, fragrant red flesh. Self-fertile, it fruits on its own from mid-August to September.
Its round figs of about 50 g are elegantly striped with yellow and green bands, a rarity among figs. Their very sweet red flesh is delicious fresh, in jam or dried. This small, vigorous tree is very productive, and its fruits stand up well to bad weather.
A southern variety: plant it in the sun, against a wall that shelters it from the north. Any good soil suits it; adding compost increases the crop.
Two-year-old plant, 60 to 80 cm tall.
A farm-grown plant raised outdoors at 1,000 m altitude in the Livradois-Forez Regional Nature Park: never in a heated greenhouse, fed with organic fertiliser only and grown following permaculture principles.
