One of the few cold tolerant figs with a sweet (and huge) fruit. The Olympian Hardy Fig Tree, introduced in 2014, produces 2 crops of very large green and purple striped fruit with sweet, violet flesh that is excellent for fresh eating, canning or drying. This award-winning variety was discovered in Washington State, where it thrives and produces large figs with tender purple skin with a very sweet red to purple flesh. Its cold hardy breba crop can ripen as early as May and is known to withstand temperatures into the teens. The plant itself is hardy down to zero degrees once well established even though it will freeze to the ground only to return in the spring and bear a crop of fruit the following Summer. It is best-suited for cool, maritime climates and can grow up to 10 ft. H x 10 ft. W.
