Figue de Solliès (AOP) Fig Tree – 2Ft Tall

Description

Summer Foliage Disclaimer

Our fig trees are grown outdoors under real world conditions, not in a controlled indoor grow room. During the heat of summer, it is completely normal for leaves to show cosmetic blemishes from environmental stress, fig bud mites, or mild expression of Fig Mosaic Virus (FMV). These issues are extremely common in outdoor grown fig trees and do not mean the plant is unhealthy.

Our focus is on growing strong, healthy, well rooted trees rather than producing flawless foliage. New growth often emerges much cleaner as the tree continues to grow and conditions improve.

If you are expecting perfect, blemish-free leaves in the middle of summer, our outdoor-grown trees may not meet those expectations. Cosmetic leaf imperfections are a normal part of growing figs outside, especially during periods of extreme heat. We believe healthy roots and vigorous growth are far more important than temporary leaf appearance. Hope this helps, Brian You are purchasing one (1) Figue de Solliès fig AOP tree, approximately 2 feet tall, well rooted, and shipped bare root for safe and efficient transit.

Figue de Solliès is a historic French fig variety originating from Solliès-Pont in Provence, France, and is internationally recognized for its exceptional quality. It is one of the few figs in the world associated with AOP (Appellation d’Origine Protégée) status, a designation that protects the original regional trees and traditional production standards.

👉 Important genetics note:

The fig trees offered here are genetically traced back to the traditional Figue de Solliès cultivar, originating from the same protected lineage used in the AOP-designated orchards. While AOP status applies only to figs grown and produced within the protected region of France, the genetics of this variety are preserved worldwide through vegetative propagation, allowing growers outside the region to cultivate the same historic fig type.

This variety is widely regarded as a premium dessert fig, prized for its complex flavor, balanced sweetness, and exceptional fresh-eating quality.
