About Marseilles

Large yellow fruit with a deep pink interior. Originally from the south of France, this was Thomas Jefferson’s favorite fig. Very productive.

About Fig

The easiest indoor fruit, best in a outdoor container for summer, then moved indoors or into an attached garage or root cellar. Fruits late summer until frost. Fig trees moved indoors often lose all their leaves, so cut back on watering until new leaves sprout. Can be pruned to make an even smaller tree. Self-fruitful.
