Fig Sweet Temptation is a great alternative if you don't have the space for the traditional varieties of fig, as this variety is one of the smallest growing in Australia. Fig Sweet Temptation is a prolific bearer of the red to maroon-coloured fruit and can have 2 crops in a year - summer and early winter. The early crop fruit are tear-drop in shape and later in the season, they become more rounded in shape as they fill out. Fig Sweet Temptation are ideal for eating fresh; great in cooking, jams, cocktails, preserves, as part of deserts and cheese platters. Fertilise when planting and again after new growth appears. Prune tree when planting to encourage new growth.
