Desert King
[3100]
$16.95

One of the best varieties for the Northwest, Desert King withstands fruit damaging, late spring frosts better than any other fig we grow. Desert King is very productive and reliable, producing abundant, yellowish-green figs with sweet and richly flavorful, strawberry colored flesh. Because it ripens in mid-summer, Desert King is a great variety for gardeners in coastal, high elevation, and other cool regions.
