Buy Peter's Honey Fig Trees for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida.

The Peter's Honey Fig (Ficus carica ‘Peter's Honey’) is an exceptionally sweet fig variety prized for its beautiful greenish-yellow fruit and rich, dark amber flesh. Originally from Sicily, this flavorful fig develops an intense honey-like sweetness when fully ripe, making it an excellent choice for fresh eating straight from the tree.

Peter's Honey is a vigorous, productive fig that performs well in warm climates and is a great choice for North Florida gardens and edible landscapes. The attractive large, lobed leaves also give the tree ornamental appeal. Fruit can be enjoyed fresh or used for preserves, canning, and drying.

North Florida Growing Note:

Peter's Honey Fig is well suited to the warm growing season of North Florida. Plant in a sunny location with good drainage and plenty of air circulation. The long, hot summers of the Florida Panhandle provide the heat this variety needs to develop its characteristic rich, honey-sweet flavor.

Allow the fruit to ripen fully on the tree for the best sweetness and flavor. A ripe Peter's Honey Fig will soften and develop a yellow-green to golden color as the amber flesh becomes exceptionally sweet.
