Live Olympian Fig Tree (5-9") - Award Winning Ficus Carica - Ultra Cold Hardy Zone 6-10 - Large Sweet Fruit

What You Will Receive: You will receive 1 Live Olympian Fig Starter Plant, currently standing 5-9 inches tall. This vigorous, well-rooted sapling is shipped in its soil plug or grow pot (not bare root) to ensure maximum hydration and is ready to be potted up immediately upon arrival.

Grow an Award-Winning Variety: Plant the "Retailers Choice Award" winner known for its superior quality. The Olympian produces massive, tangerine-sized fruit with thin purple skin and a deeply sweet, red, melting interior. It is widely regarded as one of the best-tasting and most reliable figs for home gardeners.

The Cold-Hardy Champion: Finally, a fig tree for cooler climates! The Olympian is famous for its exceptional cold tolerance, thriving outdoors in USDA Zones 6-10. It breaks dormancy late, helping it avoid damage from late spring frosts that often kill the crop on other varieties.

Patio or Orchard Versatility: Perfect for any space. While it can grow into a stunning 10-foot tree in the ground, the Olympian adapts beautifully to large containers. This allows gardeners with limited space (or those in Zones 4-5) to grow it on a patio and move it into a garage or sheltered area during deep winter freezes.

Abundant Harvests Made Easy: Enjoy fruit sooner. This variety is self-pollinating (no second tree needed) and produces two crops a year: a light "breba" crop in late spring on old wood, and a heavy, delicious main crop in the fall. It is low-maintenance, pest-resistant, and drought-tolerant once established.

Guarantee & Secure Shipping: We utilize professional, eco-friendly packaging to secure the foliage and root system during transit. Care Instructions: Upon arrival, unbox immediately and water well. Keep in a shaded area for 24-48 hours to recover from travel stress before moving to a sunny location. Satisfaction guaranteed.

The Gold Standard of Hardy Figs
Why settle for small, dry figs when you can grow award-winning, tangerine-sized fruit right in your own backyard? The Olympian Fig (Ficus carica) is a game-changer for home orchardists. Discovered in Washington State, this variety was bred to withstand cooler temperatures while delivering huge, gourmet-quality fruit. It is the perfect blend of rugged durability and delicate, sweet flavor.

Massive Fruit with Incredible Flavor
The Olympian lives up to its name by producing some of the largest figs available. The fruit features a delicate purple skin and a luscious, strawberry-red interior with a texture that melts in your mouth. The flavor is intensely sweet and complex—perfect for eating fresh off the tree, slicing onto charcuterie boards, or cooking into jams. Because it produces two crops a year, you get double the opportunity to enjoy this summer treat.

Built for Cool Climates & Small Spaces
The biggest challenge with figs is often the cold. The Olympian solves this. It is exceptionally cold-hardy (down to Zone 6 outdoors) and is known to break dormancy later in the spring, protecting the developing fruit from late frosts. If you don't have a large yard, don't worry—this tree thrives in large pots. It creates a beautiful, Mediterranean aesthetic on any patio, balcony, or deck.

Simple Care, Big Rewards
