Smith
My number 1 recommend fig tree for everyone!
One of the best figs you can grow on the East Coast, in the Midwest, and the humid South of the United States.
Bright red pulp, green skin and a jolly rancher type flavor.
It produces many of its main crop in the Northern states with a short growing season, and well in the Southern States because of it's tight eye and resistance to bugs, splitting and spoiling.
It might take an extra year longer or two to produce figs, but it is amazing.
Want the best tasting fig that will produce in our short climate of Michigan. Grow a Smith.

Figs do change flavor with age becoming more complex and simply better.

Smith figs that have a lot more juice to their pulp.

My dog Oscar_figger tending 15 young rooted cuttings.
I started these Smith cuttings from green tip cuttings. Although many people find green tip cuttings more difficult to root then year old cuttings. They can be started and grow well if you simply look after them and provide a humid environment.
