Premium Organic ‘Desert King’ Fig Tree – Fruiting & Heavy Producer Location: Los Angeles (San Fernando Valley) Productive & Established ‘Desert King’

Premium Organic ‘Desert King’ Fig Tree – Fruiting & Heavy Producer Location: Los Angeles (San Fernando Valley) Productive & Established ‘Desert King’ Fig – Potted and Ready for Your Garden Available now is a vigorous, well-branched ‘Desert King’ (Ficus carica) fig tree. This organic specimen is currently housed in a 5-7 gallon nursery container and is already heavily loaded with developing fruit. Known for being one of the most reliable and high-yielding varieties, this tree is a perfect addition to any Southern California landscape or patio. Key Features of the ‘Desert King’ Variety: * Consistent Harvests: Highly celebrated for its massive "breba" (early summer) crop. It is parthenocarpic, meaning it set fruits without needing a pollinator—ideal for urban Los Angeles gardens. * Superior Fruit Quality: Produces medium-to-large figs with a lime-green skin that transitions to a pale yellow when ripe. The interior features a deep strawberry-red flesh with a jammy, honey-sweet flavor and subtle berry notes. * Growth & Size: The tree currently stands approximately 4-5 feet tall with a sturdy trunk. While it can reach 10-15 feet in the ground, it is easily pruned to maintain a smaller profile for container gardening or tight spaces. * Climate Resilience: This variety is exceptionally hardy (USDA Zones 7-10). It thrives in the intense heat of the San Fernando Valley and is drought-tolerant once the root system is established. * Simple Care: Requires full sun (6+ hours) and well-drained soil. As a self-pollinating tree, it requires very little maintenance beyond occasional light pruning to shape. Planting & Care Instructions: * Transplanting: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball. Ensure the top of the root ball is flush with the soil line. * Soil: Use a 50/50 blend of native soil and organic compost/amendment. * Maintenance: Apply a 3-inch layer of mulch to retain moisture. Water regularly until established, then transition to moderate watering. * Pruning Tip: To protect the early summer crop, avoid heavy winter pruning, as the first crop grows on the previous year's wood. This tree is in peak health with lush, dark green foliage and visible fruit clusters. It is fully acclimated to the local climate and ready to be transplanted or kept in its current pot.
