Notes
'Olympian' fig (Ficus carica 'Olympian') is a fruit for borders, containers, and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows fast and stands erect, so give it room to reach its full size. Birds visit the tree, and you can grow it for fresh eating.
Pairs well with Hidcote lavender, Sage, and Japanese banana.
