I am trying to extend my fig season. What are some good late varieties?
A. There are a number of late varieties, including Osborn Prolific, Panachée, Genoa, Ventura, Alma, and Flanders arranged in no particular order. In my experience, the latest ripening fig is Pasquale (Vernino) which often begins ripening well after first frost. The last of Osborn Prolific’s fruit also ripens after first frost.
