I am a fig tree that produces high numbers of large sweet juicy fruit twice per year in summer and mid-autumn in most climates.
As a medium sized deciduous tree I can be planted in the garden or in a large container. I have a beautiful spreading habit and double as an ornamental shade tree.
My abundant fruit is delicious with deep purple-black skin and vibrant red flesh.
I am an elegant plant with large lush leaves, palmate in shape and medium to light green in colour.
I enjoy a warm sunny position where I will grow quickly. Prune me to shape in winter.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
