Medici Historic Reserve #1 Fig Tree
The Medici Historic Reserve #1 fig is an heirloom treasure famously introduced to fruit collectors by legendary grower Harvey Correia. Originating from ancestral Italian grounds, this specific "#1" selection is highly prized for its unique, long-fingered foliage and an extraordinarily refreshing flavor profile that balances deep honey-berry richness with distinct notes of crisp, sweet melon. The fruit transitions from green to a beautifully striped, purple-blushed exterior when fully mature, opening up to reveal a uniformly smooth, jammy interior with an incredibly satisfying seed crunch.
Quick Growing Tips
Sunlight: Give the tree 8+ hours of unfiltered, full daily sun to amplify its sweet flavor depth and bring out its optimal skin striping.
Vigor & Yield: Known for being an impressively vigorous and heavy producer, it loads up with plenty of fruit quite early in its life cycle.
Pruning: Prune deliberately in the late winter to encourage robust lower branching, preventing the tree from growing too tall and leggy.
Harvesting: Harvest when the figs grow medium-to-large and soften completely on the branch; a slight touch of late-summer sun scaling further concentrates its smooth, sugary texture.
