Description

The Kadota Fig is the quintessential "honey fig," celebrated for its exceptionally sweet, rich, and syrupy amber flesh. Its elegant green-to-gold skin protects a sublime flavor that is perfect for eating fresh off the tree or preserving. A classic, refined choice for those who prize pure, unadulterated sweetness.

  • Produces large, elegant fruit that retains a beautiful greenish-amber color even when fully ripe and soft.

  • Flesh is a luscious pale pink-amber, with an exceptionally sweet, honey-like flavor and a smooth, almost nutty finish.

  • Renowned as the premier "canning and preserving fig" due to its thick skin that holds shape well and its high sugar content.

  • Flavor is intensely sweet with minimal acidity, offering a pure, rich sugar experience.

  • A vigorous, attractive tree with lighter green, lobed leaves, adding visual interest to the garden.

  • Self-fruitful and easy to grow, producing reliable crops with standard fig care in full sun.

Flavor Profile:

  • Flavor: Intensely sweet, honeyed, and rich with subtle nutty undertones.

  • Texture: Smooth, tender, and very sweet with a fine, delicate mouthfeel.
