Also known as the tiger fig, thanks to its stunning striped appearance, this wonderful heritage variety dates all the way back to France in the 1600s, and remains just as popular t oday! With its attractive, deeply-lobed foliage, 'Panachée' is perfect for a sunny, sheltered spot in the garden, producing an abundance of gorgeous, crimson figs with sumptuously sweet centres. Boasting a rich, complex, raspberry-like flavour, these figs are best eaten fresh or dried out to make for a tasty pick-me-up snack. Alternatively, use them to make our delicious fig, walnut and olive chutney. A self-fertile plant, this fig tree will bear its glut of fruit without the need for a pollination partner. Give it a sheltered spot in the sun and this plant will absolutely flourish. 'Panachée' is hardy and well-suited to UK conditions. As a relatively compact variety, it will also grow nicely in a large container on a sunny patio or balcony. Show more
