If you're looking to grow figs in the Pacific Northwest, the Desert King fig variety is an excellent option. Desert King is a very consistent producer, yielding only one crop each year, in August. It fruits on the previous season's growth so it is essential not to prune more than half of that growth. The fruit is a pale green when ripe with a pale pink, amber splotched interior. The jammy flesh is floral and richly flavorful. Fruit is a very versatile and delicious eaten fresh, canned, dried or added to a range of baked dishes. Desert King has a high tolerance for late spring frosts. Additionally, Desert King figs hold up well in the rain and cool summers, making it a great variety for the region. Desert King reaches a mature height 15-20 feet but can be maintained at around 12 feet if pruned consistently. Show more
