Fig 'Italian Honey' (Ficus carica)

Sweet, Golden Figs with a Light, Floral Flavor

The Italian Honey Fig, also known as Lattarulla Fig or White Marseilles, is a sweet, golden-green fig variety prized for its light, honeyed flavor and high sugar content. It produces medium-sized, pale yellow-green fruit with rosy amber flesh that’s soft, juicy, and absolutely delicious—perfect for fresh eating, drying, preserves, or slicing onto a charcuterie board.

A reliable and early fruiter, the Italian Honey Fig is a favorite among backyard growers because it’s self-fertile, cold-tolerant, and compact enough for containers and small-space gardens. It often produces two crops per year in warm climates—a breba crop in early summer and a main crop in late summer to fall.

This fig tree is low-maintenance, fast-growing, and can thrive in a wide range of conditions as long as it gets full sun and well-draining soil. Whether you're building a food forest, expanding your home orchard, or adding edible elegance to your patio, Italian Honey Fig is a flavorful and beautiful choice.
