Winter Fig

Ficus carica – Winter Fig

Also known as DLS

One of the latest ripening figs you’ll find.  Fruits right at the end of the season, sometimes well into winter in warm climates. Sweet, soft flesh with a thin skin. The tree is drought tolerant, hardy in Perth, and highly productive once mature. Great choice for extending fig season when most others are finished.
