Description
Denny McGaughy:
A gourmet delight, you should not live your life without feasting on this sweet, delectable fruit. One of the easiest fruits to grow, figs are happy outdoors in the Maritime Northwest and, with winter protection, in pots or in the ground in colder climates. To fully enjoy fresh Figs you must grow your own. When fully ripe and at their most tender, shipping them long distances is virtually impossible. While many fig varieties are not suitable for the Northwest, our varieties have been chosen for their ability to ripen at least one good crop in our climate. Another plus for Figs – deer don’t like them!!

Olympian fig very similar to Marlow/Marloo figin shapes and terms of size. And flavor is also similar to LSU hollier. The only difference is the skin of olympian is a little tougher than Marlow. Very cold hardy for PNW. Large size fig with good flavor. No splitting with heavy rains.Similar Varieties
