White Genoa Fig (rooted)

White Genoa is a time-tested fig variety known for its large, sweet fruit and reliable production. The figs have light green to yellow skin with a soft, pink to amber interior that’s juicy, mildly sweet, and well-balanced—ideal for fresh eating, drying, or making preserves. The flavor is delicate and honeyed, with subtle berry notes, and the fruit has a smooth, pleasant texture. Its pale skin helps it resist sunburn in hot climates, making it a dependable choice for growers in warmer regions.

White Genoa produces a breba crop followed by a generous main crop and performs well in a range of environments.
