A historic variety, documented in France as early as 1668.
Nicknamed the 'tiger' fig for its beautiful, striped green and yellow skin.
Produces a large crop of stunning crimson figs with a sweet core.
The figs have a rich, delicious raspberry flavour.
Ideal for eating fresh from the tree or for drying.
A self-pollinating tree with attractive, deeply lobed dark green leaves.
Foliage turns a lovely yellow in autumn before the leaves are shed.
Arrives professionally pruned to encourage a strong, bushy shape.
Supplied in an EcoPot™, which uses 70% less plastic and is fully recyclable.

Species: Fig
Features: Self fertile
Harvest Time: August, September
Planting Time: All year round
Position: Sunny, sheltered spot
Sun: Full sun
Habit: Upright
Location: Beds & borders, Pots
Eventual Spread: 2.5m (9ft)
Hardiness: Hardy. Does not require protection from frost except in extreme circumstances.
Pest & Disease Resistance: Generally pest and disease free. May be affected by cold weather, fruit rot, scale insect and red spider mite (especially under glass). Birds may be a problem.
Soil Type: Can grow in any soil, but prefers a slightly alkaline sandy-clay soil.
Tasting Notes: Rich raspberry flavour

Watering: Water regularly in summer. The tree requires 2.5-4cm of water per week from rainfall or watering. Yellowing leaves can be a sign of thirst, but water before this point to avoid stressing the tree. Watering every 10-14 days should be sufficient.
Feeding: Fig trees rarely need fertiliser. Only feed if the tree shows signs of slow growth or pale leaves. If growing in sandy soil, you may need to fertilise annually.
Pruning: Prune in mid-spring, removing one-quarter to one-third of the older branches to encourage new growth.
