The 'Olympian' fig is a fantastic choice for fig lovers, thriving in a wide range of climates from cold climates like zone 6, the Pacific Northwest, and hot/humid southern states. With its thin purple skin and red to violet flesh, this fig tree produces incredibly sweet fruits. It's a low-maintenance, fast-growing plant that can even be grown in a container. This is an heirloom variety originally from Washington state. Enjoy a bountiful harvest of tangerine-sized fruits, perfect for eating fresh or incorporating into various recipes, both sweet and savory. Plants are self-fertile so you only need one. But growing two close together will increase yields.
Ideal Growing Conditions
USDA Hardiness Zones: 6-10
Protect young plants if temperatures drop below 40F. Once established, they can handle more cold. Cold hardy down to 10F-20F.
This fig is a deciduous plant, meaning it will loose all its leaves during the winter.
Height at maturity: 8-15FT. Prune to keep small if growing in a small space.
Sun: Full sun is best for maximum growth and production. Can tolerate some partial shade but production will be decreased.
Soil: Everything grows best in soil that is heavy in composted organic matter BUT this plant grows just fine in a variety of soils.
Water: Monitor young plants and keep consistent water.
Fertilizer: Fertilize in the spring when you notice new growth, once again in late May, and one more time in late July.
