The Kadota Fig, also known as Ficus carica 'Kadota,' is a popular variety of fig tree known for its sweet and flavorful fruit. Here's some information about the Kadota Fig:
-
Fruit: The Kadota Fig produces medium to large-sized fruit with a pale greenish-yellow color when ripe. The fruit has a sweet and honey-like flavor with a smooth texture. It's often enjoyed fresh, dried, or used in various culinary applications.
-
Harvest Time: The Kadota Fig typically ripens in mid to late summer, usually around July or August, depending on the climate. The fruit is ready to be harvested when it becomes soft and changes color to a pale yellowish-green.
-
Pollination: The Kadota Fig is a self-pollinating variety, meaning it can produce fruit without the need for cross-pollination from another fig tree. However, having multiple fig trees can increase fruit production and improve overall pollination.
