Full Description

The Olympian Fig (Ficus carica ‘Olympian’) is one of the most reliable and cold-hardy fig varieties, originally discovered growing in Olympia, Washington. It is especially valued for its ability to produce large, sweet figs even in cooler climates where many figs struggle.

This variety produces very large, tangerine-sized fruit with thin purple to green-striped skin and rich red to violet flesh. The flavor is exceptionally sweet with a honeyed, berry-like profile, making it excellent for fresh eating, drying, and preserves.

One of the standout features of the Olympian Fig is its dual cropping ability. It often produces an early breba crop in late spring, followed by a main crop in late summer to early fall, extending your harvest season significantly.

This tree is known for its excellent cold tolerance (hardy to around 0°F once established) and can even die back and regrow while still producing fruit the same year. Its adaptability makes it a great choice for both cooler regions and warmer climates, as well as container growing or in-ground planting.

With its vigorous growth, high yields, and low maintenance nature, the Olympian Fig is an outstanding choice for home orchards, edible landscapes, and backyard gardeners looking for dependable fruit production.
