Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Atreano reliably produces a good crop of large to medium sized, flattened light green to yellow figs with a wonderfully flavored pink to amber flesh. The small closed eye of Atreano gives it good lasting quality and resistance to spoiling. The tree is vigorous and is a reliable producer. Certainly a good choice for the South and Southeast as well as much of the West coast. Fig trees do best where they get at least 8 hours of direct sun per day. Once well established they are fairly drought tolerant but extended dry periods can cause leaf and fruit drop as well as early dormancy. A deep organic mulch will help to alleviate extremes in moisture levels, reduce nematode issues, as well as to reduce competition from weeds.
