Texas Everbearing Fig Tree (Ficus carica ‘Texas Everbearing’)

The Texas Everbearing fig is similar to the Brown Turkey fig and provides two crops per year. The first crop ripens in May and produces large fruit, sometimes 2 inches in diameter. The second crop ripens in August. This variety has a moderately closed eye which helps to prevent issues like splitting our souring. This variety produces a nearly seedless, brown-skinned fruit with deep burgundy pulp with a distinctive full-bodied flavor. Perfect for eating them fresh, or using them in jellies, jams, cookies, and cakes!

Plant in a sunny spot in well-drained loamy soil. Once the tree is established it is drought resistant. In colder zones it should be grown in a pot and protected from freezing in winter. The Texas Everbearing Fig is self-pollinating, but planting pollinating partners can increase the size of your crops. Average height 10′ – 20′ and width 5′ – 20′. Required Chill Hours: 600. USDA Hardiness Zones: 8 – 10.
