Description

The Striped Tiger Fig is the showstopper of the orchard, prized purely for its breathtaking beauty and unique, delicate flavor. Its stunning striped skin and vibrant red interior make it the most ornamental fig you can grow, while its late-ripening fruit offers a sweet finale to the season.

• Produces uniquely beautiful, small to medium fruit with dramatic yellow skin streaked with vivid green “tiger stripes.”

• Flesh is a stunning, brilliant strawberry-red, creating a spectacular visual contrast when cut open.

• Flavor is delicately sweet and less intense, with a fine, drier texture prized by fig connoisseurs for fresh eating.

• A late-ripening variety, extending the fresh fig season into the early fall.

• A vigorous, ornamental deciduous tree whose striking fruit is as much a visual delight as a culinary one.

• Self-fertile and grows well with standard fig care, making its exotic beauty accessible to most gardeners.

Flavor Profile:

• Flavor: A light, refined sweetness, often described as honeyed and delicate.

• Texture: Denser and less juicy than other common figs, with a fine, almost crumbly quality when perfectly ripe.

• Best Uses: A premier fresh-eating fig for special occasions, cheese plates, gourmet presentations, and adding ornamental value to the garden.
