Kadota Fig

The ‘Kadota’ Fig tree is a ‘white’ fig, with medium-sized fruits that turn light yellow, with amber flesh sometimes tinted pink. It has a delicious flavor and a wonderful sweetness – one of the sweetest figs there is. It grows into a full-sized tree up to 20 feet tall and almost as wide, with broad, handsome leaves that are less deeply cut than often seen on figs. It can carry both a breba (early) crop and a main crop, depending on your climate, and it is entirely self-pollinating.

• Light yellow fruit with amber-pink flesh
• Can be everbearing, with a breba and a main crop
• One of the sweetest figs around
• Thrives in areas with hot summers
• Needs more water than most other varieties

Full sun and hot summers are best for the ‘Kadota’ Fig tree. More than an hour or two of shade will seriously reduce the crop size. It will grow in any well-drained soil, including poor soils and rocky ground. This variety needs more water than many others, so water regularly and deeply through summer, or the fruit will be dry. Free of pests or diseases, and protected from spoiling by a resin plug in the eye, you can expect your first harvest within 3 or 4 years of planting.
