Atreano Fig (rooted)

*In this order you will receive 1 rooted Atreano Fig Tree

Atreano figs are a variety that originated from Durazzano, Italy, known for its great flavor and high production. Hanc Mathies brought it to America from Italy and shared it with Belleclare Nursery in the late 90s. Hanc kept Atreano as part of his fig collection, along with two other varieties, the English Brown Turkey and Green Ischia. The figs are green when ripe and turn yellow as they mature, becoming sweeter and more flavorful. The skin is also sweet and edible, even in cooler weather. The breba crop is very productive and can be followed by a large main crop. Some thinning may be necessary to ensure the main crop ripens properly. Atreano figs are able to handle rain well and are often listed as a favorite light fig, known for producing large, sweet, and tasty figs in less than perfect climates, like the Northeast.
