Ultra Hardy Olympian Fig Plant - Very Sweet - 2.5" Pot

Product Description

'Olympian' is a ultra cold hardy fig & absolutely delicious. This fig produces very sweet fruits with thin purple skin with a red to violet flesh. Discovered by retired biologist Denny McGaughy, he named it after the city where he found it in a sheltered location. Denny worked with Malli Aradhy, a geneticist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Clonal Germplasm Repository to conduct DNA test to find out if it was a known cultivar. It did not match any of the 200+ figs in the repository. It appears Denny has found a unique heirloom variety that produces well in cool & coastal climates.

Can freeze to the ground and come back to produce a crop the same year The plant you will receive is growing in a 2.5" pot. They are shipped dormant in the winter.
