Description
- Also known as the ‘tiger’ fig due to its beautiful stripes
- Produces an abundance of gorgeous crimson figs with a very sweet centre
- These figs have a rich raspberry flavour
- Best eaten fresh, or dried out to create a well-preserved fruity snack
- Recorded in history as far back as 1668 in France
- This self fertile tree produces deeply lobed, dark green summer leaves that turn yellow in autumn before falling
- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
