FI (Not recommmended 
north of Virginia) 
A southern fruit, grown only in the scuthern and eastern part of Virginia 
and in states farther south; not recommended for general planting north of 
Virginia. One of the earliest trees to bear, often producing fruit the first year 
after being transplanted. The Fig is too well known throughout the South to 
require a detailed description. There are a dozen or more varieties, the Brown 
Turkey, Celestial and Everbearing being the most popular at this time, other old 
Ones having been displaced by Everbearing. 
<i Brown Turkey. Dark brown skin covered with thick, blue bloom. Flesh red, 
very delicious flavor. Large, popular, well-known. 
“™ Celestial. An old favorite. Prolific, medium size; light in color. Sweet and excel- 
lent. 
4 Everbearing. A wonderful new Fig. Begins fruiting in July and continues until 
fall. Large, straw-colored, sweet, delicious, firm fruit. Frequently bears 
the first year after transplanted. Considered the most hardy of the Figs and 
by far the most popular. More Everbearing are now being planted than all 
other varieties combined. Served fresh from the tree, preserved, and canned.

along the coastline much farther north and generally throughout the 
South. Delicious fruit, frequently 3 inches in diameter. Large, orange- 
red, almost seedless, ripening in autumn. 1to10 10 to 30

Time required for trees and plants to begin fruiting after being transplanted may vary considerably, depending somewhat on the age and size of plant 
at time of transplanting, as well as the nature of the soil, care given, the season, and many other conditions. Even some varieties of a class will begin 
fruiting earlier than others. So the above table gives only approximate bearing ages under normal conditions.
