Ficus carica 'Desert King'
Mediterranean Fig Tree
Zones 7-10
Ficus carica βDesert Kingβ is a fig variety known for producing a large, early crop in mid-summer, with the potential for a second harvest in September in warmer conditions. Its yellowish-green fruits have a sweet, strawberry-colored interior and are notably largeβabout the size of an extra-large egg. Despite its name, βDesert Kingβ performs especially well in cooler climates, including coastal and higher elevation regions. The plantβs large leaves create a lush, tropical appearance and can become a bold focal point if left unpruned. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil but can tolerate less-than-ideal conditions, while also being pollinator friendly and relatively resistant to wildlife. Over a 10 years, βDesert Kingβ can reach approximately 10β15 ft tall and 8β12 ft wide, depending on growing conditions and pruning.
Limited Quantities Available !! As we have over a thousand cultivars of Japanese maples, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the Japanese maples you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.
