Botanical nameFicus carica 'Olympian'

Ficus carica ‘Olympian’ is a vigorous fruit-bearing fig tree, perfectly suited for temperate climates like Quebec's with minimal winter protection. Its spreading habit and large, deep green foliage make it as ornamental as it is productive. From its early years, it produces large figs with dark purple skin and very sweet red-purple pulp, excellent fresh, dried, or in jams. This cultivar is distinguished by its early maturity and its ability to fruit abundantly even in areas with shorter summers. It establishes easily in full sun, in well-drained soil, and is perfectly suited for growing in the ground or in large containers. Easy to maintain, self-fertile, and decorative, the ‘Olympian’ fig tree offers a delicious and aesthetic solution for Quebec gardens.
