Italian Honey Fig

Grow your own gourmet figs with the Italian Honey Fig Tree, also known as Lattarula or Blanche Fig. This self-pollinating variety delivers up to 15 pounds of sweet, greenish-yellow figs with amber flesh each season. These amazing fruiting trees are perfect for fresh eating, drying, or preserves. Its rich, honey-like flavor and smooth texture make it a favorite among fig lovers. Expect two harvests per year, one in late July and another in early fall, giving you a steady supply of delicious fruit from midsummer through the cooler months. Cold-hardy and adaptable, the Italian Honey Fig thrives in USDA zones 7–10 when planted in the ground, but it can be grown in containers in zones 3–11 if protected from frost. Compact and manageable, it reaches 8–10 feet tall and wide, making it ideal for patios, small yards, or urban gardens. This tree is drought-tolerant once established, deer-resistant, and has “closed-eye” fruit that helps prevent splitting and spoilage in humid climates. Give your fig tree full sun (8+ hours daily) and well-draining, loamy soil, and water regularly during the first year. Since 1980, our Florida family nursery has hand-raised trees with care. Order your Italian Honey Fig Tree online and enjoy fresh, sun-ripened figs right from your backyard or balcony.
