A WIDE RANGE OF FIG FLAVORS

Most people have only ever tasted one kind of fig — if they've tasted one at all. But figs are actually one of the most flavor-diverse fruits out there, with hundreds of varieties developed across the world, ranging from bite-sized to nearly as big as a tennis ball, in colors from pale green to deep purple-black.

What surprises people most, though, is the flavor. Figs aren't just "sweet" — they fall into distinct flavor profiles, with berry, honey, and sugar being the three most common. Some varieties even blend two, like a sugar-berry or honey-berry fig. Explore our fig flavor profiles and find the one that matches what you're craving.

Can You Grow Fig Trees in Your Climate?

Are Fig Trees Cold-Hardy?

Fig trees perform best in states with mild winters, but they're more cold-tolerant than people expect. Established trees usually make it through winter just fine in zones 8, 9, and 10. In rare cases of extreme cold, a tree may die back to the ground — but don't worry, it'll resurge with a vengeance the following spring.

In zones 5, 6, and 7, some winter dieback is expected unless you cover and protect your trees through the cold months.

Which Varieties Are Better for Colder Climates?

Consistent data on fig variety cold-hardiness is hard to come by, and since we grow in a southern climate, we're not able to test it extensively ourselves. That said, our experience suggests cold tolerance has more to do with trunk size than variety. A fig tree with a trunk diameter of 3" or larger tends to hold up well through winter, regardless of variety.

They Don't Have to Go in the Ground!

Fig trees also do great in large pots, which you can move indoors for the winter. Many of our northern customers grow this way, and it's a great option if you want to enjoy fresh figs all summer no matter how cold it gets where you live.

Delicious Greens for the Fall & Winter Garden

Few crops reward a small garden like leafy greens. Mustard greens, collard greens, kale, and more can be packed into tight rows or even containers, giving you a steady harvest of nutrient-dense food from a surprisingly small footprint. Greens are among the most nutritious vegetables you can grow — loaded with vitamins A, C, and K, along with fiber and antioxidants — and they thrive in the cool season when much of the garden is winding down. Our selection includes proven hybrid and heirloom varieties, each guaranteed to perform in your garden, so you can fill your fall and winter beds with confidence.
