z. 7 – 10
Hardy tree produces light grey – brown figs with honey – coloured interior. Delicious and fine – grained. Original tree was located in Victoria, BC; owned by a gentleman who was adamant that the variety of the tree was called ‘Cyprus’ – despite there being not much documentation of this variety in circulation. So it is possible that this tree is misnamed. What is known is that it is a dependably hardy and productive tree that produces luscious, rich – flavoured figs. This one’s a keeper! We obtained this variety from our friend and fellow fruit enthusiast Jane Lighthall.
We recommend that you plant this tree in a protected spot; then mulch fairly heavily around its base and finally protect it with a burlap wrap in mid-Winter for the first few years.
All Fig Trees are large 1-gal size plants.
