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

The golden yellow Smyrna fig is a crucial variety in California's commercial fig industry. This type of fig is known for its large size and vibrant yellow color. To be pollinated, the fig needs the assistance of the fig wasp. The flesh of the fruit has a rich, sweet taste with a slight hint of amber and a hint of strawberry. This fig is not only great for eating fresh but also for drying. The seeds within the fruit are crunchy and add a nutty flavor to the overall taste. This fig variety has a long history, having been grown in Turkey for centuries before it was first commercially planted in California in 1886.
