Vigorous, High-Yielding Fig Tree for Cooler Climates

Grow delicious, juicy figs with the Desert King! This variety produces large, dark green fruit with striking red flesh that is sweet and flavorful. With a jam-like texture and mild undertones of honey and berries, these figs are perfect for eating fresh or adding to a variety of dishes.

A robust grower, Desert King fills out quickly, particularly in cooler climates. Cold-tolerant and resistant to rain damage, this tree ripens with an early crop in mid-summer, then sets a secondary flush, known as a breba crop, which develop on last year’s growth. 

Versatile and ornamental, Desert King is a lovely addition to any landscape. With a rounded crown and lobed, green-gray foliage, this fig tree can be planted as a standalone accent, or used as a privacy hedge. Low-maintenance and highly adaptable, Desert King loves full sun and will thrive even in poor soil. Grow yours today!
