| Fig |
|
| Ficus carica |
|
A true gourmet delight, you should not live your life without feasting on this sweet, delectable fruit. One of the easiest fruits to grow, figs are happy outdoors in the Maritime Northwest and in pots or with winter protection in colder regions. To fully enjoy fresh figs you must grow your own. When fully ripe and at their tender best, shipping them long distances is almost impossible. Our Fig varieties have been chosen for their ability to ripen in our climate. Every summer we enjoy walking through our fig orchard, wicker basket in hand, dreaming of the warm, Mediterranean countryside where figs are native. Another plus for figs - deer don’t like them!

Peter’s Honey
Brought from his native Sicily by the late Peter Danna of Portland, Peter’s Honey is one of the best figs we have eaten. Peter's Honey bears good crops of light yellowish-green fruit with delectably tender and sweet, dark amber flesh. In the Northwest, Peter's Honey ripens well in warm city climates. In the country or in cooler areas, an ideal location is near a sunny south wall.

Stella™
Following a friend's advice, we found this wonderful new fig in a Southeast Portland neighborhood. Stella was brought here many years ago by an Italian sailor and is now cultivated and prized by his wife. Stella™ caught our attention with its large size, sweet, striking, purplish-red flesh, and its ability to ripen in our cooler climate.
