Hollier (rooted)

Hollier is a Louisiana-origin fig known for its bright, candy-sweet flavor and high productivity. The fruit is small to medium, with yellow-green skin and light amber flesh that leans toward honey and melon notes. It’s a favorite among collectors for its balanced sweetness and reliable cropping, even in humid or rainy climates. Hollier produces a strong main crop and handles variable weather well without splitting. Great for fresh eating and preserves, it’s an easy keeper for growers in the South and beyond.
