It was Thomas Jefferson—Founding Father, president, farmer and horticulturalist—who introduced ‘White Marseilles’, his favorite fig, to this still-grateful nation. ‘White Marseilles’ he wrote, is “unquestionably superior to any fig I have ever seen.” We quite agree. Native to southern France, in late July, the lovely trees produce a great big harvest of greenish-yellow fruit packed with sweetly delicious pale-yellow flesh. Super-productive trees are well suited to the Northeast and Northwest.
