Texas Everbearing Fig Tree

Texas Everbearing Fig Tree

The Texas Everbearing Fig Tree is a great choice for growers in the Southeast but also performs well in areas with short seasons, though not recommended for very cool coastal areas. It bears at a young age, producing two crops of medium to large, bell shaped figs with brownish-yellow skin and amber flesh. Takes on a large bush form.

One of the easiest fruits to grow, and a true gourmet delight, you should not live your life without feasting on this sweet, delectable fruit. To fully enjoy fresh Figs you must grow your own. When fully ripe and at their tender, shipping them long distances is virtually impossible. Another plus for Figs – deer don’t like them!!
