Olympian Fig is a cold-hardy, highly productive fig variety discovered in Washington State and well-suited for northern climates. It produces large, purple-skinned figs with rich, ruby-red flesh and an exceptionally sweet, berry-like flavor. The fruit is excellent for fresh eating and can also be used in preserves or drying.
This vigorous fig can grow 10 to 12 feet tall and wide in the ground, but is easily maintained at a smaller size with pruning or in containers. It begins producing at a young age and may yield two crops in longer growing seasons—a smaller breba crop in early summer followed by a larger main crop in late summer to fall. Olympian fruits on new wood and is self-fertile, making it reliable even in regions with winter dieback.
