Marseilles

Description

Marseilles is a classic light fig grown for its dependable sweetness and traditional garden appeal. It belongs to the honey/sugar side of the fig flavor spectrum, making it a useful contrast to darker berry cultivars. Marseilles-type figs have a long history in American collections and remain attractive to growers seeking a straightforward, sweet fresh-eating fig. At Bethel Grove, Marseilles also serves as a useful benchmark when comparing flavor, productivity and adaptation among lighter-fruited cultivars. This listing is for one labeled fig cutting intended for propagation. Cutting size, diameter and node count will vary naturally by season and available mother wood. Rooting success is not guaranteed because propagation results depend on temperature, moisture, medium and grower technique.
