Description- This ethnic favorite is a staple in many of the yards of Mediterranean immigrants but is found far more rarely growing in other yards. One taste of this sweet fruit will change that! You won't want to miss out on this easy, self-pollinating, everbearing Fig as it produces loads of reddish-brown fruit that are even larger than the old stand by, Brown Turkey Fig, containing juicy, sweet pink flesh that is wonderfully delicious either fresh or dried. This small, rounded tree will be an attractive addition to the landscape along with being oh so dependable in the fruit production department. Colossal 9" lobed leaves add a distinctly tropical flavor to the landscape on this tree that should be grown in full sun and heavily protected, just like your Mediterranean neighbors do, to make sure it makes it through the winter to fruit like crazy next year..
