PLANT PROFILE

Ficus carica 'Preston Prolific', commonly known as the Preston Prolific Fig, is prized for its reliable, abundant harvests of deep purple figs with luscious amber-pink flesh that balance sweetness and subtle tang. Growing 3–5 meters tall and 3–4 meters wide, this deciduous tree also offers striking broad, deeply lobed green leaves, adding Mediterranean charm to any garden.

Its bushy, rounded canopy not only provides fruit but also ornamental beauty and shade. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it tolerates mild frost once mature and prefers regular watering, though it can endure short dry spells. The Preston Prolific Fig looks excellent in gardens where you want the satisfaction of homegrown fruit paired with lush, attractive foliage—perfect for both edible landscapes and stylish outdoor spaces.
