Cap Terrat Hava Fig Cutting
Type: Common Fig (Does Not Require Pollination)
About This Variety
Cap Terrat Hava is a rare fig variety originating from Palestine, prized for its attractive yellow fruit, deep red interior, and exceptionally sweet flavor. This heirloom selection has gained attention among collectors for its beautiful appearance, reliable fruit production, and rich raisin-like taste.
The fruit is medium-sized and develops a yellow to yellow-brown exterior as it ripens. Its bright skin contrasts beautifully with the deep red flesh inside, making it an attractive variety both on the tree and at harvest.
When sliced open, Cap Terrat Hava reveals a rich red interior with dense, flavorful pulp. The flesh develops concentrated sugars and a smooth texture that make it highly desirable for fresh eating.
The flavor is exceptionally sweet with notes often compared to raisins, dried fruit, and rich fig syrup. As the fruit reaches full maturity, the sugars become increasingly concentrated, creating a complex dessert-quality fig that rewards patience.
The tree is vigorous, productive, and easy to grow in suitable climates. Like many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern fig varieties, it thrives in warm conditions with plenty of sunlight and well-drained soil.
Cap Terrat Hava performs especially well in regions with hot summers and mild winters. Once established, it becomes drought tolerant while continuing to produce dependable crops of flavorful fruit.
The variety is self-fertile and does not require pollination, making it suitable for growers throughout the United States and other regions where the fig wasp is not present.
The fruit is excellent for fresh eating and can also be enjoyed dried, where its natural raisin-like flavor becomes even more pronounced.
Its combination of Palestinian heritage, attractive yellow fruit, deep red pulp, and rich sweetness has helped establish Cap Terrat Hava as a unique and rewarding variety for collectors and home growers alike.
For growers seeking a rare Middle Eastern fig with outstanding sweetness and beautiful fruit, Cap Terrat Hava is an excellent addition to any collection.

Don’t let the growing zones discourage you. Fig trees can be successfully grown in containers and many growers enjoy fresh figs well outside the recommended zones. Growing in a pot allows you to move the tree to a protected location during winter and control its size. With proper care and winter protection, many fig varieties can be grown and fruited outside their listed growing zones.

Seasonal Appearance
During the winter months, cuttings will typically be fully dormant.
During the fall, cuttings may still be lignified (hardened woody growth) and may not yet be fully dormant. This is normal and does not affect their ability to root.
Wood color, thickness, bud spacing, and appearance will naturally vary from cutting to cutting. Certain varieties naturally produce thinner or thicker wood than others.
Rooting Instructions
Rooting instructions are included in the listing photos. Please review them before purchasing.
Propagation Disclaimer
Rooting success depends on many factors including temperature, humidity, rooting method, growing medium, sanitation, and grower experience.
While fig cuttings are generally considered easy to propagate, no rooting success can be guaranteed. Even experienced growers may experience occasional losses.
Most growers can expect a rooting success rate of approximately 60% to 80% under proper conditions. Individual results may vary.
Because rooting conditions are beyond our control after delivery, we cannot offer refunds, replacements, or credits for cuttings that fail to root.
