Notes

'Peter's Honey' fig (Ficus carica 'Peter's Honey') is a tree for containers and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. It is grown for fresh eating, fig jam, and serving with goat cheese wrapped in prosciutto. The figs have sweet, dark amber flesh that tastes like honey. Expect abundant crops over about three weeks in late summer.

Pairs well with Persimmon, White mulberry, Salal, and Snapdragon.
