Desert King Fig

One of the Best for Fresh Eating

Large fruits with strawberry-colored flesh
Produces two crops in warm areas
Productive and reliable variety

Sweet, sun-ripened figs are a summertime treat—and Desert King Fig produces some of the best for eating fresh. The large, yellow-green fruits have a gorgeous strawberry-colored flesh that has a wonderful sweet, rich fig flavor. While we like to eat them fresh, they're also wonderful in preserves and desserts. The low-maintenance trees set a large early crop between late June and August and will produce a second crop in warm areas. Northern gardeners can grow Desert King Fig in a large container and move it to an indoor protected area to prevent winter dieback. Self-fertile. Zones 8-10.
