Description
Each order of seeds contains at least 10 seeds.
The male parent is UCR 347-1, which is a green persistent caprifig.
The female parent is Long d’Aout, which produces large figs, often over 100g. They are green to yellow I color with a medium to dark red interior and sweet flavor. It is a popular French variety grown at Versailles since the 1700’s and producing abundant crops of large fruits that are sweet and good flavor. It is considered winter hardy and is capable of fruiting after being killed to the ground in the winter. Personally this is one of my favorite figs for its cold hardiness, two crops, and large figs.

All fig seedlings are unique and may or may not inherit the traits of their parents. These controlled crosses give you the best chance of producing high quality new varieties, but do not guarantee it. See our article on growing fig seeds for more information. To learn more about the controlled cross process see our article on hand pollination.
