Description
Common name: Fig
Figs are small deciduous trees or large shrubs that can grow to 10 meters. The leaves are large with 3-5 deep lobes. Fruit usually ripens from late summer to early autumn. They are native to the Mediterranean and prefer very good drainage, hot summers, and mild winters. Some frost protection needed during establishment. Plants respond well to hard pruning and fruit on new wood.
‘Ventura’ produces large tear drop shaped fruit with a green skin and pinky red flesh. Suited to cooler areas.
