Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The Yellow Magnolia Fig produces large to very large flattened to pear shaped yellow to greenish yellow figs with white flesh and amber to strawberry pulp with good flavor. The eye is small but open and the fruit is resistant to splitting 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.
