Tena is an excellent unique fig tree with the thinnest and longest leaves of any. The leaves are so unique it hardly looks like a fig tree except for the huge vibrant golden fruit covering the tree. She’s extremely cold hardy and easy to grow. One of the most vigorous fig trees quickly reaching a large size. A heavy feeder she love sun, heat, and food (compost, rock dust, kelp, fish, fertilizers etc). The Large round golden fruit are heavy and juicy often squirting when you bite into their firm exterior. The flavor is excellent like a pot of golden honey. A must for cold areas! She is known to split, and so water lightly near harvest, and prune her often to keep an open shape.
Our fig trees are grown organically and tended to like kings! They are fed compost teas, organic kelp, rock dusts, and lots of other great things to ensure optimum health of our trees. We then wait patiently until the plants are fully dormant for the absolute best cuttings! To root there are many successful methods, some of the most popular favorites are : The fig pop method, the mini pop (new smaller version), in sand beds, or heat pads and pots. Our go to method is 2” press fit pots, filled with promix FPX “soil”, on heated sand beds set to 72 degrees, in full sun, in the early spring. We do not spray ANY pesticides, and take pride offering the finest cuttings we possibly can.
Figs are easy to grow, and great for climates from zone 5b and warmer. They have one of the most well documented histories of any plant of antiquity, being mentioned in some of the oldest texts known to man, and used for many reasons. The Spartans revered figs as an ultimate food and was one of their staples. It’s in the Bible several times, and is currently under study for medicinal properties. The leaves make great tea, and fruit is world class!
