Flora (rooted)

A rare and productive variety, Flora figs are medium to large with greenish-yellow skin and richly sweet, amber to light pink flesh. The flavor is mild but honeyed, with a smooth texture and low seed crunch. Known for producing reliable crops even in less-than-ideal conditions, it does well in both warm and cooler regions. Flora is a strong grower with good resistance to splitting and moisture-related issues, making it a solid choice for growers looking for consistency and sweetness without fuss.
