Fig Tree - King

The King Fig Tree, scientifically known as Ficus carica, is a sought-after variety for home gardeners due to its remarkable resilience and high yield of rich, sweet figs. Thriving in a variety of climates, this tree is perfect for those looking to enjoy homegrown fruit, especially in areas where cooler temperatures prevail. The King Fig produces large, yellow-green fruits with a luscious, strawberry-colored interior, offering a taste that balances honeyed sweetness with a hint of earthy undertones.

A standout feature of the King Fig is its ability to bear abundant crops even in regions with cooler summers. The tree is self-pollinating and can produce two crops per year: an early breba crop in spring, followed by the main harvest in late summer. Unlike many fig varieties, the King Fig is particularly frost-resistant, making it an excellent choice for gardeners in regions where late spring frosts might otherwise damage fruit production.

When fully mature, the King Fig Tree can reach up to 15-20 feet, but it can be pruned to maintain a smaller, more manageable size. This tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring deep watering during its first few years to establish a robust root system. With minimal pest issues and a high resistance to diseases, it’s an easy-care option for both novice and seasoned gardeners alike.

Something unique about the King Fig Tree is its versatility in the kitchen. Its fruits can be eaten fresh, dried, or used to make delicious homemade jams and desserts, offering culinary delights for those who enjoy experimenting with natural ingredients. This variety also stands out for its low-maintenance needs, making it a favorite for organic growers looking for an effortless addition to their edible garden.
