Fig Tree (Ficus carica) LONGUE D'AOÛT

Very valuable, high-yielding, healthy growing, twice-bearing variety. Also called banana fig. The first fruits are very large, elongated like a banana. The fruits from the second, richer harvest are slightly smaller. This variety is hardy enough for our climatic conditions. Particularly recommended for wine-growing regions where a high-quality fig harvest is produced until the end of October. The great advantage is the fruit's resistance to increased soil and air humidity. Even in rainy weather, the ripe figs are resistant to cracking and do not rot.

Synonyms: Banane, Jérusalem
Vigour: dense bushy growth habit, older trees reach a height of 2.5 - 3 m outdoors
Blossom: parthenocarpic, forms fruits without pollination. This variety belongs to the group of parthenocarpic varieties that do not require the fig wasp Blastophaga psenes for pollination.
Fruits: of the first harvest are very large, elongated in shape, weighing 120 to 180 g. Initially green, they gradually turn yellow to golden brown. Figs from the second main harvest are smaller, have a rounder shape, a darker skin color and a weight of 60 to 80 g. The flesh is light red, aromatic and very sweet.
Harvest season: the first wave of fruit ripens in July and the second from mid-August to September, in warmer wine-growing areas until the end of October
Disease resistance: susceptibility to fungal diseases or pests is not known in our climatic conditions
Frost resistance: -17°C, one of the most hardy fig varieties

We should not plant young fig plants directly outdoors. Only after three years in the container with frost-free wintering are the trees stable enough to withstand stronger frosts. A sheltered, sunny location in the garden must also be chosen for frost-hardy varieties, which sufficiently protects the tree from cold northern winds. The soil should be rich in nutrients and well drained. It is advisable to provide winter protection, especially for younger trees. The root area can be protected with a thick layer of mulch made of leaves or straw.
