The Olympian Fig is a newer variety that’s gotten a lot of attention in recent years for its cold hardiness and extra-large fruit. Here’s the breakdown:
General Profile
Skin: Violet to purple when fully ripe.
Flesh: Strawberry-colored, juicy, and sweet.
Flavor: Rich, berry-like sweetness with a little tang—more complex than Celeste or LSU Purple.
Size: Very large fruit, often 2–3 inches across (some of the biggest of any fig grown in the U.S.).
Growth Habits
Tree Size: Moderate, typically 10–15 feet tall at maturity.
Hardiness: Thrives in USDA Zones 6–10—one of the few figs reliably hardy down to Zone 6 with protection.
Production: Produces one main heavy crop in summer (not a big breba producer).
Pollination: Self-pollinating.
