Fig, Texas, Ever-bearing

Short Description

Magnanimous harvest of soft, sweet, mahogany-purple fruits dense with sublime sweet pink-amber flesh.

Full Description

The ‘Texas Everbearing’ fig is a reigning star in Figland. Hardy shrubs offer up a magnanimous harvest of soft, sweet, bell-shaped, dark-mahogany-purple fruits dense with sublime sweet pink-amber flesh. Figs are irresistible for fresh eating and fabulously flavorful in jellies, jams, cookies, and cakes. Growing to 12' high and 12' wide, stunning landscape shrubs (sometimes growing to small trees) come attired in shiny 3-5" lobed green foliage: visual background music for the plethora of yellow figs. Yields a moderate harvest of figs in May, before producing an impressively larger encore crop June through August. For peak flavor experience, let figs ripen on trees. As deer and birds are ardent fig-fanciers, protect your tree with netting when fruits are in evidence.

Reviews

Fig, Texas, Ever-bearing is rated 2.0 out of 5 by 2.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Candice from Nowhere Near 3-5 inches, No New Growth This arrived looking puny and shabby. It was scarcely 2 inches tall, let alone 3-5 inches. It has not grown at all and I am rather disappointed. Fig plants I have purchased elsewhere were much larger and harder.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Nola from Really too soon to say I somehow expected that for $20 the fig "tree" that I received would be taller than 2 1/2". It is too soon to say anything else about it except that it is cute, but I wonder how many years it will take to reach fruiting size!
