A Taste of Honey!
'Italian Honey' Fig
2 crops each year!
Incredibly sweet figs taste great right off the tree, dried, or preserved.
Nothing compares to the rich, sweet flavor of fresh tree ripened figs! With this slow-growing, very heavy-bearing variety you get not one but TWO crops of yummy figs every year -- from a tree that reaches a generous but very manageable 15 feet high!
The delicious, honey fleshed fruit of this hybrid does not need hot summer weather to ripen, so plants produce two generous crops each year, even in the North! You don't need another Fig for pollination, either (though your yields will improve with other Figs nearby.) This fruit is excellent fresh, dried, or preserved! Zones 7-10.

Great fig tree
I've had one of these for 4 years and it is doing great. The figs are extremely sweet and make great perserves. Plant is hardy and takes heat and cold well.
The best figs ever
I have owned my tree for a few years now. The spring crop isn't huge, but the second one is!! I have to harvest them twice a day. They are sweet as sugar, too. Plus, I have given away 6 "babies" and they are all thriving and producing. If you can't grow this one, you can't grow weeds, lol.
