The Ghost Hill™ Fig is an unusual and valuable fig for several reasons. The rare ‘white’ fruit is light yellow when ripe, with amber-colored flesh, very different from the usual purple-skinned figs. It has a delicious honey flavor, juicy and lush, and perfect for eating ripe straight from the tree. It forms a compact bush no more than 15 feet tall, more slender than most other varieties. It normally carries two full crops – a breba crop in May or June, and a main crop in September and October, so you have an abundance of figs over months.
Grow the Ghost Hill™ Fig tree in full sun, or with just an hour or two of shade each day. Plant it in well-drained soils, including dry, sandy or stony ground, and don’t add composts to the ground – figs thrive in poor soil. Pests or diseases rarely cause any concern, and the most pruning you might need to do is to remove the growing tips of branches to keep them a little bushier – but this is entirely optional.
