Panache (rooted)

Panache is one of the most visually striking figs, with its green and yellow striped skin and deep strawberry-red flesh. Also called Tiger Stripe, this variety isn’t just for show—it delivers rich, complex sweetness with a berry-like flavor and smooth texture. It’s a late-season fig that needs plenty of heat to develop fully, making it best suited for warm climates. The fruit has a tight eye and good resistance to splitting. Panache is a favorite among collectors for its flavor, looks, and reliable late harvest.
