Description
It is a dwarf BT type fig. I’ve tried (to no avail) to find out what this is a “sport” of but TreeSearch won’t share details about the fig’s origin.
While the figs are beautiful - more of a deep plum- red, they taste like an average Brown Turkey fig. Moderately sweet.
This fig serves as an EXCELLENT rootstock.
I did not cover my tree and all but one graft on this tree survived the epic freeze that we had.
Nearly everything I’ve ever attempted to graft onto this tree has taken.
This year I allowed the tree to keep one tiny native branch. Today I picked the first ripe fig for 2021.
- Appearance: The figs are medium to large with a deep plum-red skin. The interior flesh is pink to red, juicy, and filled with small, edible seeds.
- Flavor: The taste is described as moderately sweet, akin to the Brown Turkey fig, with hints of berry and honey.
- Growth Habit: This variety is noted for its excellent rootstock capabilities, making it a robust choice for grafting other fig varieties. The trees are hardy and can survive cold snaps, making them a reliable choice for diverse growing conditions.
