Texas Everbearing Fig is a vigorous deciduous fruiting tree that produces two crops of fruit: a modest crop at the end of spring, and a second, larger crop in summer lasting from 60-70 days. It has large lobed palmate mid-green leaves. The sweet-smelling fruits are ripen to mahogany with dense amber flesh. Highly adaptable, but provides the best fruit in full sun and well-drained soils.
