Ficus carica 'Ischia'


Detailed Description

Ficus carica ‘Ischia’
Figs are well-loved as container plants because they bear fruit at a young age and are self-fruitful without the need of a cross-pollinator. ‘Ischia’ is a productive yellow-skinned fig. The sweet, succulent fruit is large and can measure up to 2” in diameter with a reddish interior. They can be eaten fresh or dried to enjoy later. This fig variety can produce two crops a year, especially if it’s grown in a warm location during the fall months to give the second crop time to ripen. Give ‘Ischia’ plenty of sun and warmth and it will create figs of the finest quality.

Hardy Zone 8 and higher for outdoors.

Full sun, grows to2-3' in container, minimum temperature indoors 30 blooms in summer.

Easy Grower!
