Sweet Diana (rooted)

In this package you will receive 1 small rooted fig of Sweet Diana.

An italian heirloom from NYCfigs. Sweet Diana is very vigorous and grows like a weed.  Probably a Celeste variant.  She produces 2 crops of small light green/tan to light purple figs. Thin, soft skin that’s very easy to bite into.  Strawberry red pulp.  Small cavity. Pleasing texture.  Light to no seed crunch.  Light fig flavor and very, very sweet. This is a variety the kids really enjoy because of the sweetness.  Fair amount of juice when picked at just the right time.  Tight eye.  Very rain and insect tolerant. Very cold hardy.  Excellent variety for potted culture but better in-ground.  No pollination required.
