Description
Each order of seeds contains at least 10 seeds.
The male parent is UCR 347-1, a persistent green capri-fig.
The female parent is Smith. Smith figs are small to medium in size and one of the best all around figs available. It is an heirloom variety from the southern United States. It produces well in humid areas, but is also cold sensitive. It does fine in pots, but has struggled for us in ground where it often dies back even with winter protection. The fruit is excellent with a sweet taste. It can be a slow grower after rooting, but grows quickly once established.

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.
