Ficus carica Sweet Temptation is the perfect choice for gardens where space is at a premium. One of the smallest-growing fig varieties in Australia, it offers all the flavour and charm of traditional figs in a compact, highly productive form. A prolific bearer, Sweet Temptation can produce two crops each year—one in summer and another in early winter. Early-season fruit is tear-drop shaped, while the later crop develops into plumper, rounded figs with rich red to maroon flesh. Exceptionally versatile, these delicious figs are ideal for eating fresh, and shine in cooking, baking, jams, preserves, desserts, cocktails, and on cheese platters. For best results, fertilise at planting and again once new growth appears. Prune at planting to encourage strong branching and a bushy, productive shape.
