Description
PANACHE TIGER FIG
Ficus carica
The distinctive Panache Tiger Fig produces attractive fruits with a green and yellow striped exterior.
When ripe, the fruit inside is strawberry red with a slightly dry but extremely sweet flesh. The plants have good vigor, with growth up to 12 feet tall and multiple branches.
Fruits ripen very late in the season, so Tiger Fig plants thrive in climates with long growing seasons in Zones 7-10.
