Fig Tree - 'Olympian' - Fruiting Fig Tree - Ficus Carica

Description

This auction is for one (1) Olympian Fig Tree - live plant

Won the Retailers' Choice Award at the 2014 FarWest Show! 'Olympian' is a ultra cold hardy fig & absolutely delicious. This fig produces very sweet fruits with thin purple skin with a red to violet flesh. Discovered by retired biologist Denny McGaughy, he named it after the city where he found it in a sheltered location. Denny worked with Malli Aradhy, a geneticist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Clonal Germplasm Repository to conduct DNA test to find out if it was a known cultivar. It did not match any of the 200+ figs in the repository. It appears Denny has found a unique heirloom variety that produces well in cool & coastal climates.

Current stock is between 8-12 inches tall and is shipped in a 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 inch tall cup.
