Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Lyndhurst White produces large, pear shaped to rounded, green to greenish yellow figs with a white flesh and a mild but sweet strawberry pulp. This is a found fig discovered and introduced by Trees of Joy from Lyndhurst, New Jersey and should be a good choice for the Northeast. 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.
