The Desert King fig is a highly productive, cold-hardy bifera (two-crop) fig ideal for cool or short-summer climates like the Pacific Northwest, valued for its massive, reliable early "breba" crop. It produces large, yellowish-green fruits with strawberry-red, jammy flesh that typically ripen in mid-summer. It is often sold at Raintree Nursery and One Green World.
