Description

The Blue Giant Fig tree produces the largest figs or any variety. The are large ovals with short necks, and the size of an apple. The purple-maroon flesh often has a bluish bloom, and the flesh is amber with purple touches. The flavor is delicious and sweet, full of honey and berry flavors, and of course it is best fully-ripened on the tree. Wait until the skin begins to crack before picking, and enjoy. This tree produces a large Main crop in late summer and fall, with some possibility of an early summer crop as well if your winters are very mild.
