The Texas Everbearing Fig, also known as Ficus carica ‘Texas Everbearing’, is a variety of fig tree that is well-suited for growing in Texas and other warm climates. It is a deciduous tree that can reach a height of 10-30 feet and spread out just as wide.
As the name suggests, the Texas Everbearing Fig is known for its ability to produce fruit continuously throughout the growing season. The figs are medium-sized and have a sweet flavor. They typically ripen in late spring or early summer, with a second crop in late summer or early fall.
When planting a Texas Everbearing Fig, choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. This variety is relatively drought-tolerant once established but will benefit from regular watering, especially during dry periods. Pruning can be done in late winter or early spring to maintain the shape and size of the tree.
