Ficus carica 'Desert King'

Top rated to reliably ripen fruit in the Pacific Northwest. A large fig with medium green skin and pink flesh. It is the most consistent cropper in our PNW region. A breba-style fig, it will set 2 crops per year but only ripens the first (breba) crop in our short and cool summer region. If you grow it in a region with long, hot summers, it will ripen both the bountiful first (breba) crop in July and the second smaller (main) crop in November.

Breba crop is produced on the previous season's wood, so don't prune more than half of that growth when pruning. Can grow to 20' if left unpruned, but is easily kept at 6'-8' with consistent pruning to keep the fruit within reach.

Cold Hardy to USDA Zone: 7

Mature Height: 15'- 20'

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: Breba mid-late Summer, Main mid-Fall only in Hot Climates

Pollination: Self-Fertile

Great customer service

My plant arrived in perfect condition as described. I transferred it to a larger pot, 3 gallon as recommended and will prepare it for winter. Great response to questions. Thank you Raintree..

Just a Stick

Not much to review, yet. Still just a single stick. Get back to me in the fall and I'll give a full report. :)

Healthy but…

Don’t quite understand why there was no info in the box besides the plants. It’s a stalk, would be great to know when and how to prune.
